I’ve seen this before in other cases and, in those other cases, the murderer is often failing class or failing to live up to his parent’s expectations.
So, he commits a form of suicide by destroying his life by committing a murder and allowing himself to be caught.
Maybe so... Then again, the perp is a senior in college. He couldn’t have been doing so poorly if he made it this far.

The victim was a nice young man who was very studious, according to his friends.
The roommate reportedly stabbed him to death. Horrific.
