Bobby Beale

[maidmarian]

It wasn't an accident, it was a very deliberate and unprovoked attack. Bobby was punishing Lucy for what he saw as her bringing strife to the family. He didn't deliberately kill her, but there's something very wrong with him to cold-bloodedly batter his sister like that.

Adults can be charged with murder for causing a death like Bobby did - even if death was never intended. I've got no idea what would happen to Bobby if the truth were to come out, but I think the police would treat it very seriously.



I think that was Jane's prime motivation. I remember her saying as much in the live episode.



Yes, they might be going down that route. Ian certainly justified Ben's arrest and possible imprisonment to himself because he was angry about the mugging.

I agree with a lot you have said Dazzle and I'll
be honest and say Ive never really liked
Jane-found her to be a bit creepy.

I couldnt watch a lot of the "Lucy" week so didn't
follow all the clues and just hoped she would be
the murderer -although producer did say the
answer was a bit of cheat.

What Im wondering is-Is the reason for Bobbys
"problem" the fact he has spent too time
with Jane , picked up on her negativity to Lucy
and gained the impression from her that
he can do no wrong. So is lacking in the
normal feelings of a child.

I understand how badly she would feel at
not being able to have her own child but
feel she has been extreme about it on
some occasions.

So she invested too much in Bobby and
was more bothered about losing control
of him.than about Lucys death and its
effect on him.

I know Ian is not the king of ethics- but
hes more prone to not doing the right
thing rathef actually doing the wrong thing.
And Jane could run rings round him in
the manipulation stakes- whilst seeming
outwardly a sympathetic person.

So was a pyschopath born or made - I suppose
is what Im wondering in this case?? Because
I do agree it was a deliberate act on Bobbys part
and there have been well-publicised of children
committing murder at his age.
