I don't see him as a psychopath. All of his behaviours are explainable by the chaotic life of a drug user and attitude who used the skills and ideas he picked up from his various relatives to burgle, break in and steal goods and cash to fund his drug habit. He was lazy, opportunistic, random and pretty stupid. His drug use led to the need for regular cash, harming and killing the people he stole from reduced the number of witnesses that could stand against him. He preferred vulnerable victims. He used a woman's gun , .22 as used by Aileen Wuornos. His motive wasn't killing, it satisfying short term needs for money to fuel his addiction, opportunistically taking sexual pleasure when he felt like it and her had the chance. Absolutely nothing like a psychopath. He didn't get pleasure from choosing and killing people, or torture. People were obstacles to his getting away with the burgled goods. If he was a psychopathic serial killer he wouldn't have left until they were all dead. He was just a violent, drug addicted serial burglar.
