Out of interest, has there ever been a case anyone can recall where the husband who murdered his wife staged her death as an identical suicide to his own?
It sounds as if they were restrained by their jackets in identical fashion, whereas if he did hers first his self-restraint might not end up being as easy to achieve as hers, with his arms behind him.
Tortoise, I don't know of a case like that. But often each strange crime is unique unto itself. Personally I'm still unsure about what happened. Not enough info at this point. jmo
