Murder court case

Today the students went to town to collect evidence of their whereabouts during the time of Stevie’s murder.

Sunday: Alibi…

 

There was some trouble at CAE this evening…

Students arrived to find a ‘murder scene’ at the school. They were told they were all suspects and needed to plan an alibi for the hour in which the murder happened.

The truth will revealed tomorrow…
