      That’s an easy one to answer. If they divorce, they have to split their possessions. If one of the partner dies, the other gets to inherit all, if no will is made to state otherwise.

        Plus it isn’t just about the literal stuff, it is about not letting her have any stuff. Like if he didn’t keep everything, then he would see himself as ‘losing’.

        It’s petty selfishness all the way down.

        Better murder another human being then?! That’s a foolproof plan

        To me just easier to walk away with half than literally murder someone

        I don’t think I’ll ever get it

          But that’s not what they are thinking. For them, they think it’s easier to escape justice, otherwise, why commit a crime that lands you decades of not even the rest of your life behind bars? If that was the case, then laws would be obsolete and pointless. Laws exist not only to punish, but also to serve as deterrence. Obviously some people like this dumbass, think they are smarter and can get away!

      He was in debt, cheating on his wife and had six kids. Clearly not making a lot of rational decisions. That being said, divorcing the wife would have cost him a ton of money. Especially if his wife didn’t know about the debt and his affair came out in the divorce proceedings.
