It’s not that outlandish. Many men have been known to *rage* murder their wives/girlfriends beginning with arguments over trivial stuff.
I believe Laurean was obsessed with Maria - as a sexual conquest. Believing she was carrying his child must have fed his narcissism. By denying it was his child - and simultaneously holding a rape accusation against him - may very well have insulted his manhood. She was saying, in effect, that there was another man in her life who had succeeded in impregnating her.
