Just a small question, really.  I was watching an old Hitchcock episode
last night and the story was predictably about murder.  Specifically,
the murder of a wife by her husband.  It caused me to consider that almost
all such stories invariably end up in a kicker of some sort which involves
a unique or unusual manner in which the killer gets caught.

I was just wondering if you can think of a story in which the kicker is that
the husband actually regrets killing his wife because he deeply misses her
and wishes she were alive again?

Just curious.
