A detail about the murder I did not get

So here are some facts we can hopefully agree about.

- The killer entered the apartment somehow (rusty lock, window, tree, whatever)
- He found Naz and Andrea knocked out in the bed
- He moved Naz into the kitchen prior to stabbing Andrea 22 times
- He exited the apartment after this.

So if we accept this scenario... how did the killer know Naz would not wake up while he is moved into the kitchen? Or at any time he is still present in the apartment? Was this addressed at all? IF not, it's bugging me a little, since the idea was to frame Naz, but now we are supposed to believe that the killer was ready to kill Naz as well? I'm a bit confused...

I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me to see me looking back at you

Naz walked out. The point wasn't to frame Naz. Naz was there at the kitchen table.
The idea was to confront her. He ended up killing her. And he walked and got away.

I think that Naz was unconscious in the kitchen when the killer broke in. The guy may not have even known he was there since it was possible to break in and go upstairs to the bedroom without seeing into the kitchen

Other posters are correct, Nas moved himself - if he had been in bed with Andrea when the killer came in he likely would have been killed too.
