with regards to the vulnerable missing person status - would this be the case if SE was pregnant or just because she had received threats?
Pushed him to his limits. Assuming she was having an affair with him.Highlight please where I have blamed SE for her own murder.

If strangulation was the cause of death they should be able to prove intent right? Strangulation takes time ... several minutes where he could have let go but didn't.
Just to add to this, the intent doesn't need to be murder, the intent needs to be a minimum of causing grievous bodily harm which results in death.Re premeditation.
This has come up in other cases and we should bear in mind that "premeditated" does not necessarily mean "pre-planned". An offence doesn't need to have been planned for any length of time to be premeditated. It means that there was clear intent at the time.
In cases of manual strangulation, the hyoid bone is almost always fractured and is a giveaway for the cause of death. Manual strangulation also usually means there's a personal relationship between killer and victim, ie it's not a method typically used by a stranger such as a burglar.
From sky news:
A court has heard the body of midwife Samantha Eastwood who was missing for eight days was found wrapped in a duvet cover with tape around her eyes and face in a rural area near Caverswall in Staffordshire
Tape over her eyes does seem like a kidnapping of sorts.From sky news:

I agree, it seems they had a relationship or at least he thought they did. Strangling does seem emotionally involved. I would also like to say that not everyone that has an affair meets the stereotype people might have of someone extrovert, rash, voracious or whatever. Something small could have happened between them in an intense or drunken moment, It could be that he wanted to take it further and she didn't.
