Possible points for inclusion:
1. Reporter: How did Dr Jekyll change into Mr Hyde?
Mr Utterson: He used chemicals to change from one to the other.
Reporter: How were Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde different?
Mr Utterson Dr Jekyll was a very good person, but Mr Hyde was wild and bad.
Reporter: What happened at the end?
Mr Utterson: Dr Jekyll thought he could control the changes, but Mr Hyde started to be
in control. Hyde controlled the body and Dr Jekyll lost the battle.
2. I went to Mr Hyde’s house with Mr Utterson. At first, the maid didn’t want to allow us to enter, but
Utterson told her I was an inspector and we went in. According to the maid, Mr Hyde came home late
the night before and then left again. We looked at his rooms. They were very messy and there were
clothes everywhere. There were some burned papers in the fireplace. We found a part of a burned
chequebook and half a broken cane. My conclusions were: Mr Hyde was the murderer. He had used
the cane to murder the old man, and he had burned papers to destroy the evidence.
3. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde never appeared together. Mr Guest identified Hyde’s writing and Jekyll’s
writing and said they were the same. Hyde often appeared in Jekyll’s clothes, even though they were
too big for him. Poole and Utterson heard Hyde in Jekyll’s room.
