They started to climb the stairs.
'Well, madam. Mr Maclennan went to have a bath,
probably at about eleven o' clock. He usually has
a bath at about that time,' began Grant.
'I see.'
'Mrs Maclennan was already in bed,' Grant said.
'She says she fell asleep at about ten thirty and
didn't hear her husband come up. Anyway, she
woke up at one thirty and he wasn't in bed. She
thought this was strange so she got up and went
to look for him. She couldn't find him but the
bathroom door was locked.'
'Did she try and get in?' asked Logan.
'Yes, she tried to break the door open but she
couldn't, so she called her brother.
He came round, broke open the door and they
found Mr Maclennan dead, on the bathroom
floor,' finished Grant.
Grant and Logan arrived at the bathroom. The
walls were black; the bath, basin and toilet were
white; the floor was black and white. Alex
Maclennan's body was on the floor. There was a
blue towel over his body.
'You say someone locked the door on the inside?'
asked Logan.
'That's right, madam,' Grant answered. Grant
showed Logan the broken wood.
'Has the doctor seen the body?' asked Logan.
'Yes, madam. He left just before you arrived.'
