I think he killed Allison out of his fear of exposure as much as the money. He wasn't what he seemed and had many people conned for many years. She had woken up to him and his lying, cheating, swindling ways. He couldn't risk others finding out, that would cost him in business and in his extramarital affairs and he'd lose face in the community and it would tarnish the revered BC name. Why she believed his lies that it was her fault, she was safe. It backfired on him, he had no choice but to own up to some of it. His appeal is no surprise if we consider his litigation against Flight Centre for unfair dismissal when he was writing cheques for wedding payments (ie: theft). He did the wrong thing yet somehow it wasn't his responsibility?
Jmo he probably rationalized it so that he was just taking what he deserved in the first place. Another way to look at it is that you only did something awful because someone else forced your hand or entrapped you (i.e. blame the victim)..."if she hadn't stood up to me I wouldn't have had to hurt her."
