3.       Who was the assailant? Explain your answer. (20 points)

 The assailants had access to firearms, whether obtained legally or illegally, with several
of the stolen weapons changing hands multiple times before coming in the possession
of the assailant.
First thing to do we get the blood sample found on the victims gown and the
result is the blood group A and also the antibody is present the Anti B. The
possible suspects are her boyfriend and their home boy.
The results that conducted to the boy and the blood stains found on the
gown of the victim’s match perfectly.
 And my assumptions in this case is the home boy that may have some grudge
to the victim or the family of the victim mistreated him while he is working or his
intent was to rob the victim and he had a chance to do it or killed the victim
while she was sleeping in her bed.
