I need a murder attempt at the weekend self improvement workshop.?
Reading time: < 1 minute
DeeCee asked:
I’ve been going through the headlines for ideas but everybody just shoots everybody. Boring. I’ve thought of pushing something heavy off the balcony, poison in the beverage, a banana peel on the stairs. All the usual stuff but I want something different. People have separate rooms but the wannabe murderer has access. It can’t be something premeditated that takes a lot of planning because the idea doesn’t occur until everyone is already there. Any suggestions.
I’m not going to do it, crisma. I’m a writer. Not only that but the murder attempt is destined to fail. It’s a comedy.

Hmmm. An “attempt” implies that the person survived the action, and could finger you as the perp. Perhaps a strangulation from behind? Smothering? Something that the victim couldn’t see, so the investigation would be very challenging. You could try some kind of martial arts that only required a few fingers in strategic points to kill… try doing a google search on unsolved murders. Good Luck.

Watch some of the old Peter Sellers flicks about his bumbling French detective and see if you find some “missed him” gag that you can run with.
