A while ago I posted in another thread that Lord Raith did not know Harry and Thomas were brothers before Blood Rites.
So, it might be he knew about the curse, but was told that only killing Thomas would not be enough to end it. That might be why he delayed killing Thomas. Also, some of the things Lord Raith forced Thomas to do looked like he was trying to get Thomas killed in a way that he would not be blamed for.

The curse is tied to Marge sr bloodline. I think all her living descendants feed it
There is a fridge horror theory that in White nights after killing Harry and Thomas. He still would be unable to feed so he would start killing the women that thomas and harry have been with and their kids. At this point little Marge was born but he didnt know about her

I kind of remember that also from the book, however I find it odd that he wasn't aware that Margaret was about to give birth or had just given birth when he killed her. Also it is strange that he wouldn't have kept track of that baby for fear of revenge someday. Also since he managed to murder the male siblings of Thomas and it seems no secret that he did, why would Raith worry if he got blamed or not? After all if he got his power to feed back it would all have been worth it.

The way i see it is that the white courts way of killing opponents is to do it in a way that everyone knows its probably you but have no way of proving its you. Sort of like the coups and wars from the cold war. Everyone knew who was backing who but everyone pretended otherwise.
Killing Thomas openly would lose Papa Raith face. Its saying that Thomas was strong enough to make him show his hand which is bad for his image.

Who says it has to be openly? He could have just killed Thomas like he did his brothers, he didn't lose any face over that. Thomas was just a little more clever than his brothers and avoided it.

I am not sure that is what happened. I mean, yes, obviously by pretending to be Clark Kent he convinced his dad he was harmless, but I think there is a point in Wraith pretending to care for having a Heir. So, for Papa Wraith there was some benefit in keeping one son. Politics. Somehow, male vampire have survived, there was not only one male for family. I have the feeling it was good for a family to have some male.
