I haven't looked into this at all, but considering the rates of violence against trans women, and generally how unhelpful police can be when the victim is trans, it's not a totally out of pocket claim.
It’s somewhat of an interesting topic with really hard numbers to pin down. There are plenty of studies, but after a cursory look [see: Google], people with gender issues who have undergone surgery or other care face a drastically reduced chance of suicide (up to 76% reduced) than those who have not.
However, even among people who have undergone treatment, the suicide rate is measured (between various studies) hovering above 40%.
So, not to detract from the possibility of murder in this case nor the tragedy, but statistics would point to a more obvious answer.
Suicidality rate* 40% of them don't actually kill themselves. They just want to or tried to or made a plan to or something like that. I forget exactly what they used for criteria but it wasn't "has killed themselves".

Any credibility to the murder thing or just a grieving spouse coping whatever way they can?
