What does that mean though? Is it because he used his powers against her and retained some coordination? His eyes were bloodshot but that doesn't make him entirely blind. As long as he saw something to attack, it wouldn't be hard to strike.
I suppose it's not completely beyond the realm of possibility. If he was being attacked immediately prior, though, then Miss May should have seen someone else leaving the chapel. There's only one exit as far as I'm aware--though considering the existence of secret passages, I suppose we can't leave that possibility out.
Maybe we should check the chapel for any existence of passages then. Even if there are some, there wouldn't be many places to hide them when the chapel isn't connected to any building. This rules out the possibility of underground tunnels, for now. Though personally, I don't think the chapel has any. It's much simpler to just say that the killer left the same way they came and they couldn't lock the chapel from the outside.
It couldn't hurt. I believe Miss May also claims to have called Beat's name, though, so if he were blind he would also have to have had his hearing impaired as well--unless Miss May is lying. If someone did attack him beforehand and leave, without secret passages, we need to explain how Miss May didn't see them.
It could happen, under the right circumstances. Sometimes a great rush of adrenaline comes hand in hand with loss of hearing due to the immense energy being pumped through the body. If Beat was already attacked, he may have been in an enraged state.
...And, with no offense to the deceased, he wasn't exactly the brightest person either.
