Interesting that we have 2 committed in February and 2 in November...wonder if there's any meaning or reasoning behind that?

Ha! Great minds and all that.
Oh yes! Our latest boiler servicer said they ran their checks "between November through to April" - that covers all of the murders. They service a wide area too!
Shock over tragedy of 'devoted couple'
Apologies if this was already posted, but I did pick out this tidbit:
The bodies of Ken and Eileen Martin, 77 and 76, were discovered on Monday at their Broadway home just hours before their 55th wedding anniversary.
It was mentioned in passing in the original article, but it's definitely jumping out at me as being strange. I'm just so shocked by so many elements of this case.
Good question, cannot recall if it was mentioned or not, off to see if i can find a link mentioning the time.Is there a time of death mentioned anywhere that I've missed?
Akinmurele did the right choice.Good question, cannot recall if it was mentioned or not, off to see if i can find a link mentioning the time.
Meanwhile, can anything be gleaned about the type of person who would kill the elderly, for example...
Stephen Akinmurele - Wikipedia
''Stephen Oladimeji K. Akinmurele (16 March 1978 – 28 August 1999) was a British suspected serial killer who was charged with murdering five elderly people between 1995 and 1998. Initially, he was charged with the murder of an elderly couple, Eric Boardman, 77 and his wife Joan Boardman, 74. His third suspected crime was the murder of Jemmimah Cargill. Following Mr. Cargill, he was also charged with the murders of Dorothy Harris and Marjorie Ashton[1]. Akinmurele, who was of Nigerian descent, had a history of mental illness and had committed crimes against the elderly from the age of 11. He was drawn to situations in which he would encounter the elderly with the police asserting he got a "kick" out of killing old people. Akinmurele confessed to a number of the murders but died by suicide before his trial. Police believe he may have also been responsible for two further killings. The case is notable due to Akinmurele's long-standing hatred of elderly people.''

The most common people who go to mobile elderly people round my town are builders or workmen. They tend to have work done, redecoration, maintenance etc.
One of the victims had been vocal in their local newspaper a year before their deaths, about their health challenges and his location -
"He had spoken about their health problems last year in an interview with his local newspaper in support of plans for a new surgery in their road.
"Explaining how welcome it would be to have one on their doorstep, he said: 'I'm diabetic, I've got prostate trouble and the wife's got vascular dementia.'
[...]
"Roni Nutter, 49, a support worker said: 'Ken would ride his bike up until this year, but in the past couple of weeks he had really deteriorated. Ken had a mobility scooter delivered in the past two weeks.
'If it was a mercy killing, I would be shocked.' "
