a strange murder...


"Blood on the christmas tree"

Yesterday, during the Christmas night, Mr Troy Van Leeuwen, a rich banker, was killed. The police found him dead near the Christmas tree. Miss Brody Castillo, his secret lover, is the number one suspect.
For more details "The reporter" magazine interviewed Mr Joshua Homme, the detective:
"What it was happened last night, Mr Homme" asked the journalist
"Well, around 2p.m a neighbour of Mr Van Leeuwen heard a noise like if someone had shoot someone, so he decided to phone the police" Answered Mr Homme.
"Oh! and what did the police find in the house?" asked the reporter
"They saw Mr Van Leeuwen dead on the carpet and Miss Castillo, his lover, who was going down the stairs with a gun in her hands! She confessed, she wanted to kill Mr Van Leeuwen, to have money of the big life assurance, but she said it was just a stupid idea because she loved him. She heard a strange noise, so she was going to the living-room with a
gun when she found him dead and just after, the police arrived."
"So, what do you think about this strange story?"
"In fact, I don't know what it happened but I'm going to interview his wife,” replied Mr Homme
"Thank you very much for all these details Mr Homme!"
A lot of mysteries in this murder! Is Mrs Van Leeuwen, a jealous woman, or Miss Castillo a greedy woman who wanted money or maybe a burglar who went in the house but why didn't he steal anything? We don't know for the moment....

The truth: Mrs Van Leeuwenn went in the house and she saw his husband near the Christmas tree. She heard someone in the bathroom, like the voice of a woman.
In the panic and jealousy she shot her husband. When Miss Castillo heard this terrible sound, she took a gun to protect herself and she immediately went down the stairs.... And she saw her lover dead, on the carpet.

Great story! Your english is very good!

1)How does he know Miss Brody Castillo? Why is she the main suspect?

2)Did Mr Van Leeuwen and Mrs Van Leeuwen have a troubled marriage?

3)Did anyone really want to kill Mr Van Leeuwen?
