Ten

Humphrey stood in front of the TV. Megan was sat in the armchair away from her family, hating the looks on their faces. Felix was sat comfortable on the sofa next to Theo and Alex. "Thank you all for coming," he said.

"Didn't really have much choice," Felix said grumpily. "you shoved me and Megan in the jeep. And these guys live here at the moment."

"Thank you Felix. Anyway I'm here to tell you who murdered Alice," he explained.

"Well it was Meg. Fatal dose of tablets and then tried to cover it up," Alex said without even blinking.

"Thanks for the support. You're supposed to be my brother," Megan said angrily.

"And that is the motive," Humphrey said. "Family relationships. We all assumed that it was whoever had stabbed her that killed her. Well that is the case but there were exceptions to her death. First off she was almost killed by a car, there was a large quantity of sleeping pills in her blood stream and there was even formaldehyde. Also we later learned she was suffering from terminal leukaemia and was going to die anyway. So why kill her?" Humphrey asked. "I can see from your shocked faces none of you knew that piece of information except the person who told us the information in the first place. Megan. So with a rock solid alibi of being in front of a police officer at all times, Megan is now cleared of Alice's death because why would she kill someone who's already dying. She wouldn't. In fact she even encouraged Alice to not commit suicide and refused to take part in euthanasia. So yes, although Megan gave Alice the wrong amount of the sleeping pills it's not officially her fault. She asked Alice if it was the right number, not being able to see them herself. Alice lied to her and led to her giving an overdose which would have killed had someone else not got there first. Megan, you will still have to stand up in court."

Humphrey took a breath while everyone processed this information. "So one down, three to go. Felix is the resident chemist. He knows how to make formaldehyde and after a search of your villa all the stuff required to make it, including wood alcohol, were found and all of it has Felix's finger prints on. Except the wood alcohol which also has Megan's because she uses it to cook and create a nutty taste. The formaldehyde was also found in a bottle of water with Felix and Alice's fingerprints on it. And after a quick question to Theo upon our arrival, we now know it was Felix who put the water in everyone's bag this morning which suggests he knew exactly who his target was. But why would Felix poison Alice to kill her? Good question and we will come back to it."

"Thirdly, we checked your mobile logs and found a suspicious number on Theo's phone. You called a local and paid them a handsome sum to steal a car and run over Alice, making you all seem like innocent bystanders. We have eyewitnesses. And finally, Alex, you stabbed Alice. You took the kitchen knife when washing up and took it to your room. When you went to the bathroom the second time you went to your room and took a meat knife brought here especially for the job, went into Alice's room and stabbed her, making sure to leave no trace of your fingerprints. You then went into town and sold the other knife at the black market." Humphrey said holding up a knife. "I bet if we get this tested we'll find your DNA, and Megan's. You wanted to make it seem as if Megan had done it by stealing the knife she used in the kitchen. And the reason you all have such strong alibi's… you're all in it together with the exception of Megan. And you killed her because for the past years you have all been forced to look after Megan who can't do things by herself and you are treated second rate by the family because Megan is a priority, hence why you were all happy for her to take the rap."

Humphrey stared at them all. "I'm disappointed in you all. Theo James Hazelhurst I am arresting you for the attempted murder of Alice Elizabeth Winters, Felix Luke Hazelhurst I am arresting you for possession of formaldehyde and the attempted poisoning of Alice Elizabeth Winters, Alexander Michael Goodman I am arresting you for the murder of Alice Elizabeth Winters, Megan Lauren Goodman I am arresting you for the assisted suicide of Alice Elizabeth Winters through euthanasia," he stated. "Although I'm not actually sure if that's illegal in the Caribbean but it is in the UK."

The four family members were all escorted out the villa.
