It is being widely reported that Co-workers told police that Clark was a "control freak" who viewed the laboratory and its mice as his territory, according to a law enforcement official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing and many details remain sealed.
This is why he killed her.
Territorial parameters are the norm in our society, as they are in every society. We respect our neighbor's property lines because each of us is King of our own castle, and in our castle we have the right to be dominant and protective.
Raymond Clark wrongly believed the lab was "his" and he had full control of this area.
There have been similar stories of people protecting his territory, like the man who shot a boy for simply walking across his front yard...
It is normal to feel confident and comfortable in our own territory, but when we stake out a territory that technically is not our own there can be a great deal of conflict because everybody is not under the same impression of who is in charge and who has the right to be the most dominant and in control of the territory.
If someone believes they are in charge and others do not, their will be a feelings of disrespect and the social norms of dominant and submissive body language that we accept as we interact in different territories are challenged.◦

Pretty amazing conclusion,, since YOU were not in the room when it happened. You don't suppose that it was anything she said that caused him to flip out do you? Yes, his control issue precipitated the whole thing, but I truly suspect it was something she said that set him off. This was not premeditated murder.
Wow. What a revelation.
you are so right, i've seen it on several news sites

And you were also not in the room, so how do you know that something Annie said set off Ray Clark. And what if he didnt kill her at first, just beat her, and then decided to kill her in a panic after he realized he had already beaten her. Would that be premeditated? And how about his doing everything possible to get away with the crime, including going back the next day to hide evidence and clean up the crime scene. Sounds like a lot of cold hearted decision making and zero remorse.
