It's really too bad Gabby didn't tell LE all of that - but clearly, she didn't want BL in jail (and she might have been in jail herself, given the marks on his body). They both wanted to avoid jail, which is understandable.
It is also very possible that a person (or persons) in a volatile, even abusive (whether or not in the classic, ongoing, physical sense) relationship might not even realize either the true nature of the relationship (as/if abusive) or that it could be truly of a criminal level.
Also - If it were established that BL in fact strangled GP, then it would be accurate to say only that - regardless of what came before - he was responsible for her death (homicide at his hands). Depending on how he was charged, the specific lead-up circumstances and relationship history might not even matter, legally speaking.
