The Suspect

Policeman

Good evening, sir. I'd like to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind.

Suspect

By all means, officer - only too glad to help if I can. But I know nothing about it.

Policeman

About what?

Suspect

About the murder that someone committed next door two nights ago, of course.

Policeman

Hm! Did you hear anything unusual that night?

Suspect

Oh, no! I heard nothing at all.

Policeman

Did you see anything out of the ordinary?

Suspect

No, I saw nothing, officer.

Policeman

Did you speak to anybody that evening?

Suspect

No, nobody. I was sitting here watching television. I was minding my own business.

Policeman

So murder isn't your business, sir? Someone fired six shots with a revolver, but you heard nothing... A man ran through that door five minutes after the crime, but you saw nothing and spoke to no one... Yet you say that you sat in that chair the whole evening and went nowhere... It all sounds very suspicious to me, sir. Have you anything to add?

Suspect

Nothing at all.

Policeman

Then I have no more questions to ask ... but you won't get away with it.

Suspect

What was that?

Policeman

We shall proceed with our enquiries, sir.

Dear Sal,

I was sorry (for) to hear you're having legal problems. You should have been asked for my advice sooner, but even if it is a bit late I'll tell to you what I think of.

First of all, you must to consult an accountant right away. You obviously can't have been cheating on your taxes, but it's not so many easy to convince the tax inspectors without to having all the right documents. You should also go over your tax forms again and make it sure you didn't make a mistake.

If you want, I could have come to Bristol and give you a hand with the whole paperwork. Even if we do sort it out together, you should still get the advice of a professional.

Give me a ring if you do want a help, and don't you worry - I'm sure it will all work out.

Love,

Richard

21. Business tycoon, George Henderson, aged 45, was found murdered last night in the library of his mansion. Police detectives are questioning the four suspects. Working in pairs, read the information about the victim and the suspects and decide who the murderer could be. Use may/might, could, must or can't.

e.g. A: The butler might have committed the crime because he desperately needed the money

B: I don't agree. He can't have murdered Henderson because he was considered to be a loyal employee, etc

George Henderson (the victim)

The multi-millionaire had been stabbed in the back at about 10 pm. No murder weapon was found. The victim had been watching a documentary on TV Channel 3 when he was killed. His supper tray was found on a table in the library; the food had not been touched!

Roy Smith (the butler)

The butler's mother is very ill, but his salary is too low to pay for the surgery she needs, even though he had been working for Henderson for twenty years. He was considered by all to be a loyal employee. He claims that at the time of the murder, he was watching a documentary Channel 3.

Charles Henderson (the nephew)

George Henderson's nephew, Charles, had been warned by his uncle to change his "wild ways" or he would be cut out of the will. He had no keys to the mansion. He was secretly seeing Henderson's housemaid, Claudine. He says he was at home alone watching a sports programme on TV Channel 3 between 9 and 11 pin.

Claudine Dupont (the maid)

George Henderson's maid for the past two years, was believed to be a reliable employee. She says she was washing Henderson’s supper dishes in the mansion's kitchen at the time of the murder.

Charlotte Henderson (the wife)

Henderson and his wife Charlotte had been separated for seven months. She was not living in the mansion at the time of the murder, although she still had a key! The divorce was not yet final when the murder occurred. Charlotte believed she'd probably be awarded very little money in the divorce case. She says she was at the home of Henderson's lawyer when the murder occurred.
