Even by Warbeck's own dubious story, someone was sent to murder them. They were under the "care" of their uncle, Richard III. He had the means and the motive to have them murdered. There were still many Yorkists who believed that Edward V was the rightful king. After the July 1483 attempt to free the princes from the Tower of London failed, the usurper, Richard III decided to do away with his nephews.
