This is why we need judges to interpret the law; legislation alone can never cover every aspect.
I cant see why a charge of kidnapping or assault causing ABH can not be used first to get the man behind bars and the 'care' of Mrs Korp then transferred to the state or next of kin. As for murder charges that would be tough. I suspect that they will just face conspiracy to murder and or attempted murder. A good judge will take pre meditation into account and hopefully they will get 20 years each.
