I am wholly supportive of Bobby being the killer… if anything it turns the story from a whole Cluedo 'whodunnit' to actually a sibling fight having tragic repercussions. Much meatier.

However, the one issue I hope is addressed tonight is Bobby apparently not knowing he had killed Lucy.

Yes, at the moment Jane walked in that could arguably be the case - he could think Lucy is just hurt or even knocked out cold, but he is 10/11 years old, not 3.

A 10 or 11 year old would KNOW very quickly what they'd done. I will quite easily buy Bobby realising after Jane tells him/Lucy doesn't get back up that he's killed her, but not the DTC quote of the killer 'not knowing they killed them'.

That is the only part I will find too great a suspension of disbelief.

Maybe that's why Jane moved the body rather than fake a robbery. Jane could simply just tell Bobby that Lucy stormed out of the house after she woke up.

Bobby wouldn't question that!

... but then he said 'she made everyone unhappy' as if he knew she was dead and did it to make the house less stressful! lol.

And then the following day she is found dead?

I don't buy it. If Bobby was a few years younger, maybe, but he's at the age where he'd be getting ready to start secondary school.

I know for a fact at that age if I had hit my sister round the head and she didn't get up and the next day was found dead, I'd instantly put two and two together.
