Drug link possible in Collie murder

Drug link possible in Collie murder :

"'We can't understand it because the three of them (Eliza and the two accused) were best friends, they were joined at the hip,' said a close friend of the girls, who spoke to The Sunday Times on condition she would not be named."

Well, yes, it may well be drug related because when people are very sick, then the truth which is recounted always sounds very, very sick...but does it explain why two teenage girls killed their best friend on a Sunday morning after a night out dancing? According to The West Australian yesterday:

"When the girls woke the next morning, the two accused allegedly changed into old clothes then collected shovels, speaker cable and chemicals."

If they were drugged or had been would they be that organised at 16? The chemicals on the flannel were supposed to be methylated spirit, bleach and household cleaner. Would girls go shopping for methylated spirit? They might have bleach and household cleaner. Would girls think about speaker wire at 16? If they had gone over the top the night before I don't think they'd be feeling too flash the next morning. Then they were supposed to have taken the body downstairs and buried it under the house. With spiders? Cobwebs? Maybe snakes, rats, mice? Girls don't much care for stinky, smelly hands and then crawling into heaven knows what under a house. It is certainly a very oddball scenario and the friends don't seem to think there was a problem, so there are lots of pieces and not much of a picture. I guess the police will piece it together in time. Meanwhile the parents and friends must be feeling so upset and fragile. This is their reality in Collie and as much as we find it horrible and horrendous, we are going to have to speak about it to get the channels of communication working for us and for the people who are most acutely affected. It must be so difficult for the police too.It's harder because there is so much which is not clear and so much which is upsetting.
