Well I imagine it's pretty hard to accept that a family member did something so heinous. The family is in denial, the only family member whose statements I found disturbing was their father. Dolling out warnings and the like, his statements almost sound like threats.
This aunt however... I think her reaction is pretty typical.
To me it's looking less and less like this was religiously motivated. I think the boys reasoning was something else altogether. Could be wrong, I suppose we'll see....

Not of course to mention that when something like this happens, it is quite rare for anyone to remember much if anything, not impossible, but very very rare for them to remember minute details about what occurred just prior to the incident.
Ask any of the thousands of combat vets from Iraq or Afghanistan, I know I have talked to my battle buddies about it, few remember much if anything about what happened. Thye reconstruct the memories after they are told what happened, and then still aren't even that sure.
Often having conflicting memories, like no the guy was wearing a pink hat, and all the witnesses telling them, the guy in a pink hat was last week remember, the car bomb?
So I take exception to this guys perfect recall, after waking, after being heavily sedated and drugged, and still in shock.
In fact I all but throw up the BS flag.

Sorry, I think you spelled "executed" wrong.
