Ruritania Case Study - The Sturgkh Assassination Date: November 25th, 2013 Citizens of Ruritania are shocked to hear the news of the assassination of their beloved Prime Minister, Count Sturgkh. He was shot as he had breakfast at the Sidewalk Caf, near the junction of Adler and Oswald Streets. A map of the area is given below. The terrible event is initially investigated by the Municipal Police, but, due to the seriousness of the crime, a second investigation is carried out by the Security Police. Curiously, the two investigations reach different conclusions and identify different suspects. The waiter gives the following statement to the Police: \"It was just after 9 a.m. | know that because | had just heard the time signal on the radio. | was standing in the caf doorway. He turned towards me to order another caf latte and, as he was speaking, there was a terrible noise and he fell backwards to the ground.\" At the autopsy, it is noted that there is a bullet entry wound on the right side of Count Sturgkh's head, 8 cm above the ear, and an exit wound just below the left ear. Three bullet fragments (numbered 1, 2 and 3} are extracted from the Count's head. Two deformed bullet fragment (numbers 4 and 5) are also found embedded in the table. Trace element analysis of the bullet fragments gives the results shown in the table below: Fragment Silwer (Ag) / ppm Antimany (5b) / ppm 3 69 712 4 85 811 T 5 9.1 733 The Municipal Police conclude that there was only one gunman. They suspect Mr. X. He was arrested by a traffic policeman after exiting a back door of the Ruritanian State Book Depository shortly after the incident. The policeman observed him dropping an object into a garbage bin. He was observed to be in an agitated state and his jacket was torn, but he claims that he had just been looking for some books on the ground floor when he heard a noise that scared him. A search of the book depository focused on a store room on the third floor. Three cartridge cases are found in this room. Fibres, bright yellow in colour, are found attached to a loose nail by the door. Using IR spectroscopy, the Municipal Police forensic sdentists find that the fibres are identical to the fibres of Mr. X's jacket. A firearm is found in the garbage bin. Back at their Forensic Laboratory, the Municipal Police test fire a bullet from this gun. They claim that the striztions on the cartridge cases, caused by the rifling, found at the book depository match the striztions on the cartridge case from their test firing. The following day, Mr. X is handed over to the Security Police. At their Forensic Laboratory, his hands are tested for G5R. The test is negative and Mr. X is released. The Security Police choose to investigate the Oswald Street Apartments Building, as a rear window is observed to have been smashed. It is known that this building has been unoccupied for some time. Upon entry, broken glass is found on the floor inside. An almost empty battle of a soft drink is found inside the back door. A partial fingerprint is found on the bottle. They search the apartments and their search focuses on Apartment 03-01 from where there is a good view of the caf. CCTV footage recorded at the back of the Oswald Street Apartments shows a man |eaving the building. From this footage, the Security Police identify Mr. Y as the suspect. They claim that the partial print from the bottle matches one of the fingerprints of Mr. Y. (a0 LR Figure 1.
