It is probably was crime of passion that he had covered up. Apparently she was having affairs and he didn't. Robbers don't kill people for mere $50k. He maybe a nice guy but also a killer. It was not because of money I would guess. Anger management issues are likely and those are not visible now.

Here in the US, people kill for a lot less.
Or it was her stepfather who she was going to report to the police for allegedly sexually abusing her.

The figure has been described as "a few dollars".
