Maybe this woman has mental health issues and would plead insanity which would beg the question why was she allowed to wander around at large if she had the potential to murder innocent strangers. Tube stations are not the safest places we think they, perhaps all tube stations should have the safety doors/barriers similar to the ones now in place on the Jubilee line on London Undgd.

Because it wasn't premeditated. She reacted to the situation, she wasn't watching this person for months to build up a picture of where they go and what times they are there. She was in the moment and reacted.
And all of us are only a severe mental health episode away from having the capacity to murder someone.
