Someone suggested upthread that he had come round for his lego over before going away and I feel like this is what is going to come out. The timing of being there the same day he was due to go away is too obvious to ignore. Perhaps this was the first SE was told about the holiday and she had an emotional response which led her to threaten him and he tried to stop her, with terrible consequences. I don't think pre-meditated but I do think the timing of the visit is highly relevant.
Obviously this ignores the reports of her being threatened. I cannot see any reason for MS to threaten her to the extent she told people of a threat, for him to then act on that threat knowing she would have had time to disclose the the situation to people. By that logic it wouldn't be pre-meditated at all from the minute it was mentioned (because if you really intended to murder someone you probably wouldn't warn them). I guess I'm not in full belief of the threat claims but then again that's the only explanation for the quick response by hospital and police! Unless she felt his mental health was slipping and he had broken down in front of her a few times that had made her nervous of him becoming unhinged but ultimately blinded by list/attraction to stop seeing him?
Also the original arrest was for kidnap, if there was evidence of previous death threats, why not arrest on suspicion of murder? Noone threatens to kidnap someone?
Unless she had given him until he went on holiday to tell his wife of their affair and police had reason to think he would just have wanted to stop her from getting to his wife before he got her away on holiday?
Just MOOs trying to piece together what we know (and clearly not doing a good job!!). Everything in this points to either an affair or an infatuation with stalker tendancies from MS towards SE. It would be difficult if the latter to go back to your exes family and tell them this without looking bitter.
