It was a mystifying coincidence. The local policeman’s wife and the coroner’s wife had both been murdered on the same day. No one had a clue how the murders happened or who did them. Of course the policeman had to recuse himself from the case, and the coroner had to recuse himself as well.
The murders were at the local city mall. The guest investigators have called for any information that might help.
It’s amazing how people offer utterly irrelevant information. They simply confuse the case with irrelevant detail. For example, Mrs. Bridie Brown reported that she saw the policeman and the coroner kissing in the shopping mall’s carpark. Some people need their head read.
Another red herring from the busybodies.

The police will plod their way to a dead end. The wives will probably wake to a bright new mourning.

Like those racist antivaxxer ‘scientists’ arguing that COVID most likely came from a Gain of Function lab in Wuhan funded by Fauci.

Entirely plausible – without a local policeman and a coroner on the case, their chances of getting caught are nil.

Even the President of the USA (who inspired this story) didn’t flinch as a schoolboy when he saw two people kissing. Mind you, he was busy driving his 18-wheeler on the way to pick up Nelson Mandala.

A brave man, that! I heard his son made a quick buck selling ocean front property in Arizona to a bunch of Ukrainian oil billionaires. Dad’s still poor as a pauper though, and innocent as a new born Easter Bunny, so all good.
