Marple Bk2: Thirteen problems (6/13)

Thumb Mark of ST Peter (Miss Maple)

Mystery=> Mabel's husband, Geoffrey Denman could be dead due to poisoning. There was rumor spreading in the village saying that Mabel killed Denman.

Murdered: Denman-> He was hard to speak and died shortly after the Doctor came. Before death, he had mentioned 'Heap of Fish'. Forsentic re-examined the body and found no arsenic or any poison that can kill him. Vegetable alkaloid can possibly kill him without leaving traces.

Suspects:

1) Mabel-> (Mabel's account): She bought the arsenic and wanted to use it to commit suicide. But she gave up that idea and threw the arsenic away. She had been tired living with Denman.

2) Borothy (Maid)
3) Mr, Mrs Old Denman-> Mr old Denman had both mind and eyesight failing.

Lead=> Geoffrey Denman was a chemist.
