Wie kann man, in einem Krimi, den Mord einer Person so umschreiben, dass man denkt, es sei Selbstmord?
Hey (:
ich bin gerade an einer Geschichte, einem Krimi dran. Es geht um den Tod einer Person, wobei am Anfang feststeht, dass es Selbtsmord ist. Eine andere Person glaubt jedoch nicht daran und zeigt nachher, dass es Mord durch anderer Hand war.
es ist ein sensibles Thema, aber wie könnte man den Mord wie Selbstmord aussehen lassen? Es sollte aber nicht Mord durch Pillen oder generell Vergiftung sein.
Liebste Grüße
Well, a suicide can be staged, of course. It can also be externally controlled so that person X is acting, but in the end it is completely influenced by person Y, so that it acts as a tool. In Sirius, for example, attempted murder was also recognized.
Grade if the perpetrator succeeds in bringing this tool against self-propriety can of course build a good story about it. But of course, the victim must also fit in with this, and you are very committed to the abyss of mental dependence (which, of course, also requires research and can be burdensome on you).
Otherwise… choose a method where a third party can stage well. If someone throws a hair dryer or toaster into a bathtub, it’s usually hard to say who did that. The same applies when someone falls from a cliff and nobody is there to see if the person was pushed.
I would choose a combination of ‘typical situation’ and ‘appropriate design of the environment’.
The perpetrator can afflict the person in doubt and cut the pulsed wires. As long as the cuts are set accordingly (the perpetrator has, for example, very well informed) and for example there is a credible farewell letter of the person, this can already turn well in a different direction (may be that the person has written it for therapeutic reasons or years ago when it was actually suicidal).
Ka, for example, when a person is found h*ngt…
Even shot in a closed room, but the projectile lacks
Here a death would be most likely to hang through.
Or a jump out the window.
Important here is a handwritten farewell letter
Have you already read stories using this principle? Then you can orient yourself. Otherwise, I recommend: read stories similar to yours. So you get a feeling of what works in the genre and what doesn’t.
