The Murder Game

You are a porter in a hotel, the day goes fairly slowly and you are due to call a customer in suite 327. You make the call but there is no reply, the customer specifically requested to be called on at this time, so you make your way to the suite.

After several minutes of knocking on the door with no reply, you decide to open the door and double check that everything is ok. You open the door, but to your horror you find a fairly young woman lying on the bed in a silk nightie, with a large knife stuck through her stomach.

There is ornament debris everywhere, small impact points on the walls, in your confusion you step in a puddle of blood near the door. Walking around the room there are smeared finger marks over the wardrobe and on the bathroom doorframe, the shower curtain is half pulled off and a small blood splatter is on the bathroom floor. The patio door is wide open and on the balcony a plant pot has been knocked over.

There seems to be no blood on the railings outside, and no signs that the bed has been slept in. You grab the knife handle, thinking you should pull it out for some reason, but stop when you realise you may have just covered the real killers fingerprints, you rush downstairs and report the crime, but when the police arrive you are arrested, the blood on your shoe gives them reason to detain.

In the interview room, the police tell you that your fingerprints were on the knife handle, there was blood on your shoe and you had keys to the suite, they ask your version of what happened.

You think of saying “I don’t know” but you realise saying that would almost certainly send you to jail, your only hope is to explain what you did when you entered the room in the morning, and based on the objects you saw and the state of the room give an account of what you think happened.
:icondannius:
Right, read this prose, and afterwards i want you to post giving your events of what happened AND name at least 1 suspect

THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG CHAIN OF EVENTS, im just curious as to what people would make of this

PLEASE, no idiots making fun of this deviation, its serious

Have fun!

Check the records of the phone company. They can prove that you called the room, and if it had been after the murder as an alibi there'd have to be blood on the floor from your shoes.

my thoughts: I walked into the room, and there was a dead woman. What do I think happened? I thinka woman was murdered, plain and simple, I dont know how she was murdered, put me in a lab and i might be able to find out. When i walked in I didn't notice the puddle of blood, and if you check out the direction of my foot prints you'll notice that the trail should start at about the door continue in a sweep around the room, then up to the deceased, and being in first aid, I was taught to treat the wound and stop the bleeding before you check for vitals. So I removed the knife (not remembering that you leave foreign objects in the body if you come acrost such an event) in a panic, and left my fingerprints on it. So thats when I dropped the knife, and called 911. What happened in there and how did she die? Why do I care, I'm not her, and I have nothing to do with her.

I think she got raped. She was struggling so hard around the hotel room as she was bleeding and blood was dripping all over thats why it left such a mess. Then she eventually died.

... i give them an alibi. :shrug:

what happened? the knife didn't kill her. too little blood on the nightie for that. a stomach wound would have taken much, much longer to kill her. and there are no other stab wounds apparent. my thoughts? ...check for sexual activity. she was drugged, date raped, she overdosed, when she did, the killer panicked, stuck a knife in her stomach, trashed the place, smeared blood over the walls and floor, all to make it look like a break-in rough-up job. he then fled by the balcony, jumping in the pool from the third story balcony.

not creative, i know... leave me be. :shakefist:

She went out of her room late at night to get a drink from the vending machine. Not wanting to struggle to get back into the room she blocked it open. While she couldn't see someone slipped in. When she arrived back she closes the door walks in not paying attention. As she goes past the bathroom she notices something odd. She goes into look and the killer jumps out from behind the shower curtain, half tearing it down as he does, and stabs her in the stomach. She looks down and touches her stomach in awe. Not wanting to give up without a struggle she begins to fight with the killer. The killer amazed at what he is seeing tries to find a way out without alerting anyone. The woman increasingly dizzy tries to follow him and drags her hands across the wall to hold herself up. The killer runs out onto the balcony to find an escape and ends up tripping over the plant. Behind him he hears the lady fall onto the bed. More calm now the killer carefully walks out of the room and back into the hallway where he vanishes.

I think that the person who has killed the woman had to of been in the room be for she got there or was staying with her the night. In this case it could have been a friend,boyfriend,husband,etc. Who ever it was could have been very angry for some reason at her or themselves or god know what they were mad about. But lets say this person got in an argument with the woman (victim) , she went to take a shower and things got worse they started to argue in the bathroom. (Person), :fork: stabs woman with knife and she struggles to get to the phone, because they always have the phones beside the bed while (person) lectures and argues on. She dies be for reaching the phone and person relies what he/she has done trashes the room to make it look like a robbery and then storms out off of the balcony.:stab:

My theory was that she was been followed by a stocker/significan other/someone she knew off/rapist/etc for quite some time including her whereabouts. This my idea of the sequence of events as followed:

1) She just arrived to her room, changed her clothing to a night gown, and chose to grab a bucket of ice for her beverages
2) The assailant took the oppurtunity to sneak in to her room (assuming she didn't lock the door just because the ice making machine is in a safe distance to her room)
3) The assailant placed him/herself in the restroom just waiting for her to be arrived
4) The Woman arrived, placed her ice bucket on a near table, and suddenly the person came up and threatened her asking for anything (sex, money,etc)
5) The Woman felt afraid and began to fought back (not realising the assailant has a knife) by throwing items at him/her.
6) The assailant had used his/her arm on stopping some items hitting his/her face totally. Resulting to some cuts and scraps in the arms/hands (thus, blood is present)
7) The assailant then thrust the knife into her, realising it is too late to run away now, and finish the job.
8) As a result, the amount of blood on the victims abdomen (maybe a bad cut to her aorta artery lead to her demise) had bled tremendously causing the floor to absorb amounts of her blood and some goes to the assailants hand. The woman later just fell on the bed bleeding to death.
9) As a panic, the assailant had went back to the rest room, running in stressful conditions, and went to restroom. Touched the door frame, touched the wall of the bathroom floor, and his hands filled with her blood, started to drip on the bathroom floor as a result. Then he/she started to pulled out of the curtain shower, trying to turn on the fosset to wash the hands for any signs of blood.
10) Later, realizing the assailant killed her already, he/she frantically ran out to the patios door very hard and accidentally hits the potted plant to the ground (since the plant is fairly near to the door).

Then the story continues w/ yours.

Well that's my idea, it will be great when there is a bit more details in the event. But that's how i viewed it (excuse me for my grammar :p).

Great tho B-)
