This was indeed obviously well planned. If it was to send a message to the free press, would it have been so well planned? Given the state of the world and the rise of dictators, wouldn't they have been even more blatant, or are things just on the border if dictators being able to do that more freely?

Well planned would've been like Jimmy Hoffa's murder. This was amateurish.

Who said absolute power corrupts absolutely?

The historian and moralist, who was otherwise known simply as Lord Acton, expressed this opinion in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." 'Absolute power...' is one of the language's best known proverbs.

Body double indicates premeditated murder. That doesn't fly for claim Crown Prince had no knowledge.

Why were first responders not called if hurt badly in a fistfight. At some point a body would have emerged, dead or alive. That didn't take place.

The only story that passes the smell test is the body was mutilated and a bonesaw would be an ideal tool to make that happen. What next? Flush the small parts down the toilet and the larger parts in the cleaning ladies trash bags.
