The counter to that is that he did not originally mention the incident.
When arguing with Lechmere's accusers (who for some reason I cannot fathom are called things such as pro-Lechmere or Lechmere Lovers), I do rely on the alternative arguments - i.e. either the murder occurred before he left for work or when he was already at work.
I agree with you that there is (and was) no case for him to answer.
