Even if it was the brother surely he could have done it in the house with her fully clothed.
I think he sexually assaulted her then manually strangled her. Probably panicked and set it up to look like a suicide(very badly)
Poor woman.
Absolutely especially as she'd just been through the trauma of the little boys death, which was never fully explained was it?
How on earth can the police just close the case.
I don't understand that at all.
The BF had power he could have pressed for a further investigation.
Perhaps he realised his brother would be the prime suspect. Also I'm not sure he loved her, some of the texts they exchanged didn't sound like they were happy.
