So in incorrectly attributing the term 'burglar' to Mr Wright and Miss Fey, regardless of whether the statement was made in good faith or without malice, it is still a defamation per se of character through imputation of criminal activity, and therefore libelous.

Incidentally, the common law definition of burglary is 'the breaking and entering the house of another in the night time, with intent to commit a felony therein, whether the felony be actually committed or not' and as neither Mr Wright, nor Miss Fey, intended to commit a felony upon gaining access to the apartment in question, you must agree that you have, in fact, mislabeled them in your article.
