An Elementary Murder

An Elementary Murder (Case #40) is the fortieth case of the game. The victim was an Au Pair named Irina Nemovska. She was found with her throat slit in a school classroom. The killer was Jenny Honeycomb, a teacher.

Jenny was a closeted lesbian and she and Irina were lovers. Irina wanted to make their relationship public but Jenny was scared of the repercussions this would have on her. One day Jenny asked Irina to come over in her classroom during recess, she had brought a gun hidden in a teddy bear with her to threaten Irina so that she wouldn't tell anyone of their secret relationship and leave the town. She wasn't planning to shoot at her but near enough so that she would be scared, but the gun was broken. Irina, thinking Jenny really wanted to kill her, then jumped at her; Jenny tried to fend her off with her inhaler but it only made Irina fight harder. As Irina pinned Jenny to a wall, Jenny grabbed a pair of child's scissors from one of the desks and stabbed the victim to death.
