Someone's been murdered!

Slide 1 - Diapositive

What happened?
It's 8:30 pm. During a school reunion a scream is heard from one of the classrooms. A few minutes later the dead body of Miss Eliza McGowan, a cranky old English teacher, is found. 
She has been hit on the head. 

Also found were a number of items that may lead us to the killer: 
  • a book written by one of her ex-students, Simon Donnelly, 
  • a photograph of one of her fellow teachers, a young man called Saul Sheen, 
  • and a handkerchief with the initials I.W. 

At the moment these are the three main suspects but everyone who was at the party and saw or spoke to Miss McGowan needs to be questioned...
