A man rushed frantically to his

A doctor examined the body and
pointed out that burns made before
death always contained serum. while
those made after death contained

that therefore she had been killed
and then set on fire.
The man subsequently confessed
that he had strangled her and set
her body on fire in the hope OF con-
