Evidences and Facts behind the story
• Knives – similar
• Unable to say the movie name at the spot
• The boy grown up in a slum area, when he was 10, he was in
children’s court for throwing a rock at a teacher, at 15, he stole a car
and arrested for that, picked up twice for knife fighting, he is handy
with the knife
• The stab wound was downwards
• Evidence 1 – The old man (Age-above 75) who stayed downstairs
heard the voice “I’m gonna kill you” and a second later he heard the
body hit the floor, he ran to door and watched the boy running
away
• Evidence 2 – The lady (Age-45)who stayed on the opposite building
says that while she was lying to bed watched the boy murdering his
father through the window when the last two cars of a total six car
train crossed and at one the lights went off, she screamed and
made a call to the police

Guilty to Not Guilty
Reasons for Choosing Not Guilty
• Chances are there that the Knife might fall through a hole in his pocket
and the killer might use a similar knife (similar switch knives are available
in the neighbourhood stores)
• Unable to say the movie name at the spot because of nervousness on
watching his father dead
• Slums are not a breeding place for criminals always, here nothing to do
with his past records
• It is not possible for the old man to reach the door in 10 secs, surely with
his weird left leg(stoke) it will take at least 41secs

6.
Guilty to Not Guilty (Continued…)
• The girl has the mark of wearing glasses, which means she might
have vision problems so she only can see the blurred faces
• The boy is 5 feet 7 inches height and his father is 6 feet 2 inches
and he is very handy with the knife and it is hard to stab his father
downwards in his chest
• Above all these facts the old man’s statement and the lady’s
statement doesn't match
• Because she watched the man getting killed through the last two
cars, whereas the old man told that he heard the statement “I’m
gonna kill you” clearly and one second later the sound of body
hitting down the floor, which means the statement occurs in that 10
secs the train passed the window and thereby identifying the boys
voice is not possible at all in that train sound
