Me? You really think I did it? Really? He was my husband you know.
We’re questioning everyone mam. The fact you got so defensive this quickly is slightly concerning. Now, when was the last time you saw your husband?
Oh, the murder.
So it was-
Oh no, I mean when I found him. And before you get any ideas. No, it wasn’t me who called. I screamed then the maid saw what happened and called you. There. There is no way you can take that out of context.
Actually, I was going to say so it was you who caught a glimpse of the murder then?
Hhhmm, oh, yes right. And no not in the mirror.
Again, you are really making it hard to not be suspicious.
Oh, please. You were thinking it too. I just got it out the way. Please can we wrap this up?
You don’t seem too upset about your husband's death.
Of course not. I’m a gold digger.
So, you could say you have a motive.
Yes, money.
Wait, are you confessing to his-
No, no. That was my motive to marry him. Not kill him God lighten up detective. He was very old anyway. I wouldn’t get the money if I did kill him. It’s too easy to catch something like that. Too obvious.
So you did think about it?
No, It was Penny’s idea. I told her the same as I just told you. Never would work. Too risky.
And who’s Penny?
The maid's daughter. She’s got into gold-digging too.
Could Penny have done this to your husband?
God no. She’s in Sweden with her rich, old husband.
Is Penny going to kill her husband?!
No need he’s 98! He’ll be lucky to make the flight home!
So, she has lured him away to kill him by travel?
Wrong again. It was his dying wish.
I guess that’s perfectly fine then.
Not for Penny. She doesn’t know they’re going to meet his granddaughter who moved to Sweden years ago. Who, by the way, is getting left all the money.
We’ve gotten sidetracked. Do you know of anyone who would want to kill your husband?
Bill.
Who’s Bill?
He’s who I saw leave.
Wait you know who killed your husband?
I was trying to tell you but you kept asking about me and Penny. Bill is our neighbour. My husband borrowed his mower and never gave it back. He kept it so long he forgot he had it. Bill thought he was lying about not having it.
Well, that does explain why your husband was found with a lawnmower on top of him turned on.
