A lot of people are asleep at this time. Great way to catch people groggy and unawares; less likely for them to defend themselves. Also less chance for witnesses.

On the other hand, also more likely for someone to assume home invader and defend themselves.

Which might also be part of the reason, now that I think about it. Gives them an excuse to ~~execute someone~~ defend themselves from a crazy criminal.
