It is an impossible scenario to me. Have to pass.
As you point out I keep repeating myself, but that is the logic I see in this: WHAT person is so stupid to shoot a victim twice, then claim it was suicide? Why does no one but me see the absurdity in this?
It's easy enough to pop in occasionally and say what you have said repeatedly when you were here regularly, that being your belief that we're wrong in our thinking. It seems like the harder part is to offer something -ANYTHING?- by way of alternative.
We have discussed this on many occasions -with and without your company- and you may be interested to know that, like you, none of us believe that he PLANNED to shoot her twice and have it look like suicide, however, we can no more stay there than could Jeremy when his first shot failed to kill her. I think it WOULD have thrown him, but not for a moment do I think he made himself a cup of tea whilst he worked out his next move.
He had options, albeit limited. He could have left her to bleed to death, which she undoubtedly would have done, but I don't believe sadism had any part in this. He COULD have re-staged the whole thing to look like a burglary gone wrong........................BUT what would a burglar have considered SO worth having that it was worth slaughtering a whole family -not to mention two SLEEPING children- to get their hands on? Then there's the problem of what he CAN take which is valuable enough to be worth killing for, small enough to be transportable, perhaps on a bike and where will he hide it when he gets it home? He doesn't HAVE all the time in the world to think about what his next move is -in fact, he probably only had seconds- but given that it wasn't how he planned it to happen, he has no other alternative than to make the best of a bad job. THAT was to shoot her again and rely on an alleged call from his father to his home in Goldhanger at silly o'clock to put enough distance between him and WHF.
