“...the father had been planning the murder since the day he found out about his daughter’s alleged rape.”
One would think that such a well-planned murder would not have ended with “he went to the police station and told them everything.”
Should it be:
The father was allegedly planning the alleged murder since the day he allegedly found out about his daughter’s alleged rape.
Not necessarily. He never intended to evade the law. He did what he needed to then turned himself in.
I agree. I’m reasonably certain that given 2 months to plan, I could come up with something that accomplished the goal (his demise) without placing myself at any significant risk of jail time. Especially if they had not made the rape public and thus there was no known motivation to tie me to him. I’d also be practical enough not to do anything like burning his genitals which would indicate a crime of passion or that it was personal. Hold onto that rage, but don’t give them anything to go on, point them in an entirely different direction.
