And here is another couple of observations.
The landlord was present. He knew about the window.
He would also know what to type of lock the door had.
There is a possibility that the landlord would have an extra key.
So..If the idea of entering the place via an axe of sorts is used..It is very simple to imagine that the hole the axe made would be for reaching in and unlocking the door.
I ask again. If that were the purpose of gaining entry, however long they had waited..why not simply take out the rest of the broken pane of glass instead?
No need for an axe. No need for the door to be destroyed either.
I know I'm not a qualified policeman... but this isn't rocket science.
Yet nobody..not one person of the very many...thought of it.
And guess what. .I thought of that over four decades ago when I first read about the murder in Millers Court.
Please tell me this is quite normal, practical thinking?
All before the age of the Internet, please note.
