I'd argue the "why" is really what families want to know. Hearing the guy say it was random and he loved it can possibly give you some closure that its nothing their loved one did or said, they just got caught it a sickos fantasy. I'd certainly be in that camp if I was in their shoes.
I do get what you are saying. But I guess my first thought is, how do you know if he's telling the truth? If he stands up there and says it was totally random would you ever believe him?
It's not a burglary and it's clearly not some kind of relational type thing. All that leaves you with is a sociopathic lunatic that acted out on his bizarre desires. So whether they were targeted or random, that's what you are left with-- an absolute psycho who couldn't control his demons. If he gets up there and says I did it because I was attracted to them, does that give anyone closure?
I'm for whatever is best for the family and remaining roommates, but I just don't think anyone is going to get what they are looking for, even if he admitted motive.
