Any idea what the motive was?

I don't have a motive yet. That being said the money laundering charge is interesting. It could also be unrelated. It will all come out soon. Imo EBM

And I think this is it on Google Maps.

If I'm correct, then it's a pretty remote location.

More pictures of the house:

It's a lovely area, very remote, steep cliffs to the sea. A bird watchers paradise. The RSPB have a info centre over looking South Stack light house near by. If you look on Google earth you can really see how remote it is.
