Was It Colonel Mustard In The Kitchen With The Candlestick?

Ive a red claw crab, and a very aggressive female angel..
over the last week the angels have been fairly aggressive in their mating behavior, the babies from January are fairly big at this stage,
and over the last week i have found on average one dead angel a day, nothing has changed in the tank stats are all zero, nitrate is 10 last time i checked before a water change,.
Angels have no visible damage on them , and there are a few "Cul de Sac's" in the tank which the female could corner them,
the Red Claw crab is in amongst dense foilageat the top of the tank which the angels sometimes go into.
So who did it?
im 70/30 on the female due to no visible damage.

If I'm reading this correctly then the angel babies are almost 1 year old? I'd imagine if the two adult angels are showing breeding behaviour again then it will be them picking off the younger angels to make room for a new brood. If this is the case then it seems it's time to rehome the babies
