nandakandamanda: "Such a waste. Why?????"
There is no answer. Some people are just very sick, and very evil. I doubt there is much if anything else to it.

There is always a reason. The question is whether we ever learn it, and whether the reason justifies the action. There is even a reason when people who cannot differentiate between right and wrong murder - the reason is in their head, but it still exists nonetheless.

Nothing can justify murdering someone... beaten about the head means that she was attacked. You can't even say it was self defence...
There is no reason... there is an EXCUSE, but not a reason.

Actually there is invariably a reason as Strangerland said though not neccessarily a rational one, but there is no excuse.

Actually what strangerland said was a reason that JUSTIFIES the action, I don't know about you, but I can't come up with a lot of things that justifies beating a woman to death in a hotel

Self-defense justifies murdering someone.
You've got this backwards. There isn't much that will excuse someone for murder, but there is always a reason they committed the murder.
You seem to be thinking that a reason implies justification, but it does not. An excuse implies justification.
No I didn't. I said '*There is always a reason**. The question is... whether the reason justifies the action*.'
