Why did he bludgeon (spoilers) body at the end?


... after he had already shot Ray?

Was he finishing him off or staging a new crime scene?

I thought it could have been because he had noticed Marty was not in the chair at the club when he went back to look for his lighter and thus wondered if he was dead. He was not going to wonder this time. And apparently he didn't want to use a bullet from his pistol which he used to shoot through the wall. Earlier in the film. Ray had been holding the object used to smash his head.
