Rigor Mortis

"Did the man who was on fire shouted for any help?"

"Actually sir, I think he was already dead by the time I came." Bill nervously answered.

It was normal for witnesses to be nervous so Patrick was not bothered by it.

"Okay, we will check that"

"Any other information that you guys want to share?" Patrick asked the three people, Bill and the young couple.

The three shook their heads as they had no other information.

There was a red shirt and a blue bed sheet near the body which verified their stories.

"We would have to confiscate your shirt and your bed sheet as it is a part of the crime scene now and we would have to verify it with your story"

"Sure sir no problem" Bill agreed and the young couple too didn't object.

"Did anyone touch the body with your bare hands?"

"Maybe while quenching the fire we might have but I am not sure" Bill explained.
