I’m no expert, but, I suspect drugs and/or alcohol may have been a factor in this crime.

In the Kingdom of Wonder, ambulances are used to transport wounded to the hospital (just like in the West). But also to transport the dead (for whatever reason), as well as transporting those with the virus to quarantine.

Maybe he was expecting the men in biohazard suits, fishing nets, and cattle prods to show up soon.

Meth also helps cloud the mind, too.
