Robert Thorogood - The Killing Of Polly Carter

‘The man in the yellow raincoat,’ Dwayne offered.

‘Precisely,’ Richard agreed. ‘But whoever this person was, they attacked Polly with the branch, knocked her to her death, and then hid the branch before making their escape. Somehow. But the point is, we already know from the anonymous letters that there’s already one person out there who wanted Polly Carter dead, so I want background checks run on Polly Carter and everyone who was up at the house. Who benefits from her murder? Who’d want her dead? I also want us chasing the autopsy on her body. If she was attacked by someone wielding that branch, I bet there’ll be further evidence on her body.’

‘And there are your questions from earlier,’ Fidel offered.

‘Indeed, but I think I’ve got a slightly different set of four questions now,’ Richard said, turning back to the board and writing up a list in his neat handwriting.

Once he’d done so, he stepped away from the board so his team could see what he’d written.

The Key Questions

1. How did the killer know to be on the cliff at that precise moment?

2. How did the killer vanish into thin air afterwards?

3. Why was Claire’s mobile phone found in a chandelier?

4. Who sent the anonymous letters?

‘And you know what?’ Richard said, putting the lid back on his whiteboard marker with a satisfying pop. ‘I think that if we can answer those four questions, we’ll stand a good chance of identifying who killed Polly Carter, knowing just why she had to die, and—above all else—just how the killer escaped afterwards without being seen. Now then, team, let’s get to work.’
