It could be any or all of a mix of psycho, political and robbery. Making the murder of a political figure a “terrorist “ offence arguably diverts from the core moral wrongness of murder.
My exact thoughts, from a death with no suspicious circumstance to announcing it was murder, then to find out he had hit her 21 times over the head with a hammer, something not right there. Surely they don't have people like Nosenowt investigating these crimes.
I don’t think it was ever a death with no suspicious circumstances, it was a death with no obvious suggestion of a political motive. Being attacked in the way she was with her handbag stolen suggests a financial motive, if anything, or a burglary gone wrong. What evidence has been released to suggest a political motive?
Not something as serious as this, coppers have been charged with offences and lost their jobs in recent times for such breaches of confidentiality, and I'm sure the ones on this case would be mindful of/or have been reminded of that.
