“I’m thoroughly disgusted,” said Fergus Barnberry, a medic at the initial scene. “She came across, as sweet and in mourning, but what she did was callous and deceitful.” Mary has been charged and convicted of first degree murder, creating a false alibi, spoliation and tampering of evidence and obstructing law-enforcement
Sam Campbell, a local grocer, claimed Mary Maloney had appeared at his establishment, “happier than a butcher's dog”. Following forensics on Patrick Maloney, it was concluded that his death was final at around 4:50PM, whilst Mary arrived at Sam’s around 5:30PM. According to Sam, “Mary continued to assert that her produce was to be consumed by Patrick himself.” Knowing this to be false, the investigators rendered this suspicious and immediately interrogated Mary.

She tells them to eat the leg of lamb, the weapon used to kill Patrick, to obliterate all evidence of his murder. This is very devious as she tries to avoid getting caught by eating the lamb.…
