Buried just below the Young Warrior -- probably at the same time -- Buko said-is a woman in her early 20s who may have met a similarly violent end. Though evidence is scanty, Buko guesses she was killed to be buried with the man, "because it's very hard to suppose she died at the same moment as the warrior."

I am adding quite a bit of supposition, but if they were a married couple, it is possible that they were killed at the same time, at home, in a raid.

...it is possible that they were killed at the same time, at home, in a raid.

My thoughts exactly. When I read his comment “...it’s very hard to suppose she died at the same moment....” it struck me as nonsense.

I certainly am not knowledgeable in this area, so, unless there have been other similar archaeological finds which indicate that the woman was killed to be buried with the man, his comment here makes no sense.
