    I can’t say that I’ve followed this case closely, but I have never heard a reason why. Obviously, she’s sick, but how do you do something like this “just because”?

      Everyone has these intrusive negative thoughts like

      “What if I drop this baby down the stairs?” “What if I punch this person in the mouth?” “What if I touch this woman’s butt?” “Should I jump over this ledge?”

      We never act upon them but still the majority of us have them. Any way that doesn’t explain the why, I have no idea why she did this.

      I guess sort of like Harold Shipman, they were both in a position to get away with their fucked up impulses without any negative repercussions.
