It's not "too easy" for me, it's where occam's razor is leading me at this time. And there is absolutely something to see and discuss if it was murder/suicide.IMO
To shift the blame on the husband
is too easy.
"Ladies & Gentlemen, nothing to see here,
deranged man killed his wife and hanged himself.
He had financial problems, you know, it happens, had emotional breakdown, murder suicide happen a lot, etc etc"
Really?
What about positive opinions of neighbours?
Describing the couple as loving?
Over decade of living together as a pair?
Would a woman marry him recently (2023) if he was treating her badly during all these years while living together?
Did he have MH problems?
Were there worrying signs earlier?
Surely a wife would notice them.
Because, really,
what normal person decides to commit murder suicide?
OK, there seemed to be problems, financial problems.
But who hasn't got them?
A person usually negotiates with banks, downsizes, sometimes declares bankruptcy.
So what?
Life goes on.
One has to roll up one's sleeves, clench one's teeth and start solving problems.
There is always a solution.
Something else was happening there IMO.
I hope Police will really try to get to the bottom of this.
The man cannot defend himself any more.

We don't know any of that information. It wouldn't be the first time neighbours, friends and even family are shocked and had no idea this could ever happen. People often hide the things they are most ashamed of (financial/health/relationship worries are probably the main three).
"Normal" people, aka people who are thinking rationally and not under extreme stress, don't typically commit murder/suicide, you're absolutely right.
"There's always a solution" isn't something people who are not thinking rationally tend to think. I wish those I know, loved and lost to suicide had realised that. They didn't. It happens.
You're applying logic to someone who may not have had the ability to use logic at that time.
I will agree that the man is not here to defend himself, so out of respect for that, I am only responding to the very few facts that we know. I am not speculating idly and am very open to considering other possibilities. I just don't subscribe to any currently.
