Hank Buxton

Hank Buxton was the CEO of Buxton's Britches, Ltd and the victim in The Scent of Death (Case #44).

Murder Details
Hank was found dead in a plant pot with a corpse flower in his mouth. For some reason, he was first smashed in his head with a flower pot and was strangled to death with pantyhose. Afterwards, a plant was shoved in his corpse's mouth.

Killer and Motives
Hank's mother, Peggy Buxton slew him. Peggy and Hank hated each other but she hated Kerry Ann, his wife, wholeheartedly. Peggy told Hank she would bestow her fortune to him on the condition that he divorces and disinherits Kerry Ann as well as letting Peggy stay in the mansion until her death. But Hank was acting behind her back to lock her up in an institute for senile people. When she discovered that, she decided to make him pay for every time he had disrespected her. She smashed his head with a flower pot and throttled him. Georgi was an accomplice in the murder but he was unaware of this as she had told him Hank was drunk, not dead, to help her carry his body across the roof.
