Who did it?

Police found the body of Mrs. Jean Rolands on the lawn outside her home at three o’clock in the
afternoon.
Read the evidence and decide if it was an accident, suicide or murder …and if it was a murder, who
did it / Work it out.

I live up on the top floor. I don’t
know Mrs. Rolands very well. I
knew her husband better. I
always thought he was going to
marry Ann – Ann Forester, that is
people always surprise you
though, don’t they?
I live across corridor from Mrs.
Rolands. I think Miss Forester,
Mrs. Rolands’ neighbor, opened
her door when I was having coffee
at about ten o’clock, and someone
left. I thought it was Miss Forester,
but I saw her hurrying out to the
shops twenty minutes later.

I work for a TV repair firm. I called on Mrs.
Rolands at about 9:15 A.M. Her cleaner opened the
door. I repaired the TV … I don’t think Mrs.
Rolands was in while I was working there. There was
a lot of noise in the bedroom, but I think that was the
cleaner
I never liked Mrs. Rolands. I was
going to the library when I saw her
outside the block of flats at about 10
o’clock. Of course, I didn’t speak to
her … I never do, yet I think it’s a
pity what happened to her.
