Mr Brown was killed on Sunday afternoon. The wife said she was reading a book. The butler said He was taking a shower. The chef said he was making breakfast. The maid said she was folding clothes, and the gardener said he was planting tomatoes. Who did it?
Common Wrong Answers
“The wife”
The wife claimed she was reading a book, which is a plausible activity for a Sunday afternoon. There is no evidence to suggest that she was lying.
“The butler”
The butler stated he was taking a shower, which is a reasonable alibi and does not contradict the timing of the murder.
“The maid”
The maid claimed she was folding clothes, which is a normal household task and does not provide any inconsistencies with the timeline.
