Yasuko and Niina puzzle me a little.
Even with a bleeding child, I feel like you'd wait a while before venturing down from the attic. And we're told it was Yasuko who first fetched the first aid kit (from the bathroom?) to patch up Niina. Yasuko must have been fairly sure the killer had gone.
The official story is that the killer stopped attacking Yasuko and Niina with the broken knife because he went to get another knife. But if that's the case, how was there enough time for Yasuko to think he'd gone, and then try to patch up Niina? I'd expect the killer to come back with another knife pretty quickly to finish the job.
Is it possible the killer believed Yasuko and Niina were already dead up in the attic, and went back down the ladder to rest and tend to his own wounds? Yasuko comes down with Niina thinking he has gone, the killer is roused, and he then grabs another knife and finishes the attack?
Perhaps the "overkill" on Yasuko and Niina wasn't hatred of women (though it definitely could be) but anger at the fact they hadn't died already. This time he made absolutely sure they were dead.
