Who shot JR? – The Riddle Society
The Riddle Society: where, when and… who? – In the library; 5pm, Tuesday 25th September 2018; … who?
It was a shock worthy of the US television series, Dallas. Early yesterday evening, Mrs Routledge was found dead in her classroom by her husband, Mr Routledge. She had been shot several times in the chest with a staple gun.
It appears that Mr Routledge had been on his way to collect Mrs Routledge before going to evening mess, when he discovered her body lying on her classroom floor. After gaining no response from his wife, Mr Routledge quickly raised the alarm.
The Headmaster said, “It is with deep sadness that we learned of the tragic and sudden death of Mrs Routledge, a much respected colleague and teacher. The School is supporting her family and our pupils at this difficult time and I very much hope that her killer will be brought to justice soon.”
Mrs Routledge’s body was still warm when she was discovered and it was clear that she has not been dead long. Only five people were on the languages corridor in the moments leading up to her death: Miss Cook, Mr Ling, Miss Batten, Mr Battman and Mr Routledge. It is certain that one of them must be the murderer.
On Tuesday evening, The Royal Hospital School will assemble its finest minds for a special Riddle Society meeting to attempt to solve this mystery: Who shot JR? The suspect charged with this heinous crime will then be put on trial next week.
