Case Files

Victim

• Jack Potsby (28/M) - a typical loser, unemployed with a gambling habit. His good looks were his one redeeming feature. It seems he had recently enjoyed a big win.

Suspects

• Goldie Potsby-Mahn (32/F) - Jack Potsby's wife. A stunning beauty. Sadly, this isn't the first husband she's survived.
• Chase M. Downes (45/M) - concierge of the flats where the incident occurred. A keen bodybuilder who's recently joined an exclusive nearby gym. He can get violent when angered, it seems.
• Buster Nicks (61/M) - an old lag and serial burglar, known for his swift getaways. He was dressed in black and caught near the block of flats.

Statements

• Goldie Potsby-Mahn, statement 1 - I was taking a shower when I heard my husband scream. I knew something was wrong, so I hurried out of the bathroom.
• Goldie Potsby-Mahn, statement 2 - when I came out of the bathroom, I saw an outlaw running away across the balcony. He was a very muscular man, dressed all in black.
• Chase M. Downes, statement 1 - I headed up to the flat as soon as I heard the window breaking. The door was locked, so I knew the crook would use the balcony. There's no other way out.
• Chase M. Downes, statement 2 - as soon as I heard the crook had done a runner, I scooted round the outside of the block. I caught a dodgy-looking man dressed all in black by the rear entrance.
• Buster Nicks, statement 1 - I was planning on breaking into a gaff on the ground floor. I was just about to the window in, when I heard glass breaking on the floor above. I nearly died!
• Buster Nicks, statement 2 - I looked up a storey, and saw there was a window broken. I thought it must be one of my lot, but I didn't saw no-one come out. Then the incredible bulk got me.
