Now equating your tagline to the above article's criminal hapenstance, as reported, is it the killer or the killee that needed killin' here?

Well, considering that the provocation of the wife (if seeking "cuddling" could be considered a provocation) was relatively innocent and non-threatening, I would have to conclude that it is the killer in this case (i.e., the husband) who "just needs killin".

I agree with your assessment. :-)
