Since they can't go back to their home due to threats and intimidation, what do you think? It's not an act of grief, its clearly an act of intimidation.
I would imagine that both the pensioner and his wife are devastated by events. He's killed someone, was forced to, do they really need all this drama as well?
If someone in my family had the habit of going armed into elderly peoples homes to rob them I'd be ashamed, and appalled, not floating around with tributes to 'the boy' of 39. Loving someone doesn't mean you have to exclude them from all moral norms.
