The Merfolk Murders (audio story): Difference between revisions

The unconscious Seb is saved and taken to the hospital thanks to Kowalski breaking down his door and Tegan calling for an [[ambulance]]. Given that the door was locked from the inside and there is no sign of a [[suicide note]], the Doctor deduces that somebody tried to murder Seb and doubts that it was Kowalski given his assistance, although Tegan is suspicious of him. The Doctor realises that Seb was the only person at the castle who was in St Andrews during the time of the murder Athena claims to have witnessed the previous summer and Tegan sends him to gather Adric and Nyssa whilst she visits [[Morris (The Merfolk Murders)|Morris]], the [[porter]] of St Salvator's and whose predecessor, [[Patterson (The Merfolk Murders)|Mr Patterson]], Athena claimed could corroborate her story.

Adric informs his friends that he and Henry have ruled out all of the known suspects and that Henry recalls Athena saying that she made her sandwiches in Professor Hodgson's house, something that Tegan finds suspicious given that Professor Hodgson previously claimed that she barely knew her. Tegan explains that she and Morris found an entry in one of Mr Patterson's [[logbook]]s, dated [[17 August]], mentioning that Athena reported an incident which was subsequently redacted. The next day, Adric and Nyssa find a [[dossier]] on Professor Hodgson in Athena's room and Tegan distracts her whilst the Doctor uses her telephone to call Anna, who tells him that her sister's name was Andrea, that she lied about her father being a [[scholar]] and that her claim of witnessing a murder was probably a lie. The Doctor asks her for her help.
