I suspect the motive was to leave no witnesses. Why he took
the boy out of the house, I can't really guess.

The first two murders might possibly be crimes of passion.
But the murder of the boy was cold-blooded, calculated, and
definitely first degree murder.

By the way, there doesn't yet appear to be any "smoking gun"
in this case. The police still have a lot of work ahead of
them. The boy was found in the van, but there isn't yet
any evidence to link Balfour to being in the van when the
boy died. There also is no ballistic evidence to tie him
to the other two murders. If they rush to trial (and Balfour
has the right to a speedy trial, now that he's been charged),
I'm afraid he'll probably get an acquittal.
