10. If he killed them, he wouldn't say so.

If he didn't kill them, its possible he didn't know of their death. Or wasn't informed until much later, when he had more pressingatters in hanging on to his crown. Also possible he thought revealing boys death would lead to blame being placed on him (which happened anyway), and he was trying to think of a solution. He did have a political split with one of the suspects, perhaps that was the reason?
Anyway, while a positive ID of the princes would be fascinating...I agree it doesn't solve the crime.
