Crime scene Report:</span><br/><br/>The lounge of the property has been systematically trashed. Books swept from bookshelves. Box-files tipped onto the floor, leaving seemingly random piles of paper strewn about. Trinkets that clearly once stood on some shelves judging by the imprints in the dust are scattered on the floor. There is a rectangle of brighter colour on one wall, with a nail poking out near the top. Clearly the place where a picture of some sort had hung until recently. There is no sign of whatever might have hung there. A dresser against one wall shows clear dust marks too, most likely belonging to the smashed crockery on the floor. The drawers have all been pulled out and emptied. There is a single solid silver tea spoon underneath the dresser. The rest of the cutlery and other knick-knacks are all worthless and none of them match the tea spoon.<br/><br/>The kitchen is well equipped and is the only room in the house that has not been trashed.<br/><br/>The back door is closed.

The door is made of glass panes 8" square and the one right above the lock and door handle  has been smashed. There are slivers of broken glass on the floor inside the kitchen, just beneath the door.<br/><br/>The door leading to the kitchen is open. Lying on the floor in the kitchen, just inside the door is<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.xl.thumbs.canstockphoto.com%2Fstressed-or-angry-fat-middle-aged-man-stock-video_csp52566369.jpg&amp;hash=a9b0c62ba4c437bff5ab15680d9d3f38" href="https://cdn.xl.thumbs.canstockphoto.com/stressed-or-angry-fat-middle-aged-man-stock-video_csp52566369.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">the victim.</a>He is lying on his side looking almost like he has been placed in the recovery position. He is wearing a pair of pale blue boxers and a tee shirt with the logo of the Ubiquitous Beefies baseball team on. The front of the tee (which is normally a bright crimson) is stained dark red. There is a large red puddle of drying blood on the pale cream floor tiles.<br/><br/>One end of the kitchen counter looks like the melamine veneer has been broken off leaving a slightly jagged surface of dried glue.<br/><br/>Oh, and there is a massive smeared footprint in the puddle of blood, as though someone stepped in it without realising it was there and slipped.
