Murder

The doctor had been busy with a murder case for much of the time since his return from Southampton, but on the few occasions they’d all been together, he’d seen how the doctor avoided the child where he could. A verdict of “Wilful murder against some person or persons” was returned at the inquest. But the murder of Elizabeth Camp did not fit: she had been killed while the creature was locked up with Kosminski, miles away in Leavesden – so the question was, why? He washed his hands and face and then, with his shoulders still bowed, finally left.
