on the last point (why the hand was needed to do the actual slaying), I've laways thoght that the reason could be because this isn't simply a defensive killing, it is a ritual sacrafice. since it is it may be that the ritual calls for a specifically ordained "person" to be the one who actually strikes the blow, while the duty of adorning the sacrafices is the job of others.
