I dont know, Vertigo! Maybe she thought that she had killed him anyway, as long as he was subdued and unable to stop her killing June and the boys I dont suppose she cared!
Maybe she had to bash him over the head because the magazine wasn't inserted into the rifle at that point, who knows!
Point is, if the Aga caused the burns then the possible scenarios are very limited.
Do you think the Aga caused the burns, Vertigo?
Personally, I think anyone who doesn't think so is only delaying the inevitable, as it were!
From his injuries it is clear that Nevill was in a life and death struggle, so why was he unable to overcome his bird-like daughter in such a struggle as clearly the blow to the head wasn?t enough to stop him in his tracks (unless you?re suggesting that the blow to the head came after the life and death struggle?).
