FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY.
Below we have a bit of advice to get you started.
During any homicide investigation, a detective must answer the following three questions:
Motive
Motive: Who had a reason to kill the victim? Did any particular person benefit ideologically, financially or romantically from the victim's death? Was it a case of revenge? Jealousy? Hatred?
Opportunity:
Who had a chance to kill the victim? Does any specific person possess the needed time or are in the necessary position and place to kill the victim? Is there any person unaccounted for and has no alibi during the time the victim was killed?
Means:
Who had access to the murder weapon and the victim? Did any specific person or persons have the skill, physical ability or unique knowledge necessary to use the murder weapon effectively?
