A Mysterious murder Listen again and complete the gaps

Are you Mrs. Lucille Carrington?


Yes, that's right.
And your husband is, or I should say was, Mr. James Carrington, who __________two days
ago at your home, 180 Portland Street.
Yes, James was my husband.
Doctors have carefully studied your husband's body. They have found that someone
_______________ your husband.
No, how?
A knife in his heart. We believe that he _____________at the time. He had taken sleeping
pills.
I can't believe it. It's true.
So, Mrs. Carrington, where ________you on the day of his death, the 5th of June?
I ______________ with a friend in Stanhope. It's a village about 50 miles from my home.
My friend had been in hospital. I ____________ after her. I was there from the 3rd of June
until yesterday when I _____________ the news.
Your friend's name is?
Joanna Miller.
Joanna Miller. And on the afternoon of the 5th of June, what ___________ you
_________?
I _______ into the city. Joanna was feeling tired and ill. I went to buy her some tea. Here, I
have the receipts.
Did you go there alone?
Yes, I did, by car.
And did you also return to your house that afternoon?
No.
Your neighbour, Mrs. Box, disagrees. She says that she _______ you enter your house. You
__________ ___________a long brown coat and a hat. She says she heard loud voices in
the house. A man and a woman were arguing.
It wasn't me.
Oh, then who was it?
I don't know, but I believe that my husband _________ a lover. I think he was seeing
another woman.
Who?
I don't know, but I have believed it for some time. I had smelled perfume on his clothes.
And once I ___________ a receipt for dinner for two people in his coat pocket. But James
loves, _______ me. I'm sure. Maybe she asked James to leave me and James refused, so
she got angry and ____________ him.
Or maybe you ____________ angry because he had a lover and you killed him.
No. We will find the truth.
