I think that when the brother and father discovered that he had been in the house and when Tanti discovered that his cover was blown, he couldn’t get rid of her fast enough.

A psychopath likes to act out his illusions incognito. Once controlling adults entered the scenario and his act was exposed, that “game” was over. It needed to be scrapped. He must have known it couldn’t have lasted for ever and laid the “suicide” foundations.

Somebody asked what would happen if he wrote a book and benefitted from this horror story. I think that based on his aspirations for fame, this is a very relevant question that should be addressed by the courts.

This is a person who thought that negative publicity was worth it.

They were playing “I am a little teapot” and he showed her his spout.

His simulating a fall was probably “plab B”, “plan A” probably having been to walk down a footpath to retrieve his jacket, which contained his passport, Virtu Ferries ticket and car keys – a plan which presumably failed with him stumbling in the dark, getting injured, and hence having to resort to “plan B”.

An adult teacher drove his vulnerable 15-year-old pupil to Dingli Cliffs at night, encouraged (forced?) her to drink whisky and swallow a large amount of aspirin, after which she supposedly “fell” to her death. He, meanwhile, took his passport, a Virtu Ferries ticket and a large amount of cash with him to Dingli Cliffs.

Do you need that to be repeated to you again? How can one not “judge”?

Well said.

I believe that it was only after two days from the 19th that it he became a suspect of sorts, though I stand to be corrected.

My point is that, if his was treated as a failed suicide attempt (I believe it was stated on the news on the 19th that foul play was ruled out), then chances are that no blood samples were taken, let alone tested to verify what Tanti said about the alcohol and aspirin.

Have the police questioned her? Will they be doing so?

If he had any guts, he’d have helped her not messed with her mind.
