Leech Bomb

Alright, I've read that the Leech Bomb was problematic, but this is ridiculous.

My husband, my son, my stepson, and I were playing Star Munchkin (only, not combined with any other Munchkin game).

Three players at the table were level 9. I drew a face-up monster card after kicking open a door. My husband, immediately to my left and the next player to go after my turn, threw a Time Warp card. It then immediately became his turn, and he had more than enough levels to beat the monster and win the game.

My son, also level 9, then threw a Leech Bomb, thus dispatching the monster and racking a kill.

Problem is, we can't figure out who gets the credit for the kill: my husband, or my son.

My husband didn't ask for help in the combat. It was the general consensus that since my husband was level 9, and the monster disappeared--and according to the card, the Leech Bomb counts as a kill--that my husband gets the kill and wins the game.

However, my son opined that since he threw the Leech Bomb, that he gets the kill and wins the game, even though my husband explicitly didn't invite him to the combat.

We argued loudly about it for hours, just like the rules said. But we still couldn't come to an iron-clad decision.

What do you all think?
