well, at least they didnt have guns to protect themselves with. otherwise the criminal could have gotten ahold of it and caused some serious damage!! or they could have shot themselves, or.. or.. they should have just cowered in their home and let him take whatever he wanted... even if he wanted your life...

The possible motives
Theft:
A burglar broke in to the bedsit six days earlier and stole a laptop. Did he return and torture his pleading victims in a bid to obtain more valuable items? Sources described this as a key line of the inquiry.
Drugs:
The ferocity of the murders has prompted speculation that the killer or killers could have been on crack cocaine - which can cause paranoia and extreme violence. Or, for whatever reason, did the men fall out with a local drug dealer?
Mental illness:
The violence could be the work of a psychopath or person with an acute personality disorder. Police will check on seriously mentally ill individuals in the area.
Sex:
Although neither victim suffered sexual injuries, police cannot rule out completely the possibility of a sexual motive. Did the killer or killers get a sadistic pleasure from inflicting unimaginable pain? Was there a bizarre homosexual motive?
Revenge:
Strong feelings of revenge can sometimes prompt horrific acts of violence. But police see no obvious reason why the men would attract such hostile feelings.
Mistaken identity :
Were the men mistaken for other individuals who were the intended targets?
