Murder of a Very Noble Person
Investigated by Dasha Holmes, 11b

I am a police detective. I investigated the case, connected with a murder of a very noble person (whose name I am not allowed to reveal) who had played a great role in the governance of the country.
First of all I investigated the crime scene, where I found a lot of evidence. For example the woman`s glove, that didn`t belong to the victim’s daughter or wife. Then I found a sign of a pleasant morning - some crumbs of French loaf on and under the table. I also noticed that on his left cheek there was a trace of lipstick. I questioned the suspects: the victim’s daughter, his wife, their housekeeper, the butler and his secretary. The victim’s daughter and mother had a unquestioned alibi – they both had been out of the city. That day the housekeeper and the a butler had not been at work – their boss had given him a weekend off at the beginning of the week. “It was an amazing surprise for us, but it was a little bit suspicious for him”, said a housekeeper. When I talked to his secretary Miss Amber I realized everything. Her color of lipstick betrayed her.

When the experts collected enough evidence such as hand prints, murder weapon, which turned out to be dichloride sulfur. Miss Amber`s mother works as a pharmacist, so it wasn`t a problem to get the poison.
Miss Amber was arrested last Friday accused of murdering her boss for her own reasons. It is not excluded that there was a love affair between them. As Miss Amber walked into the courtroom yesterday morning with her lawyer, she denied having broken the law and told reporters that she was innocent. However, the jury decided that the accused was guilty. As murder is a major offence, she was sentenced to 5-year imprisonment.
