Manor Hints: Clarence III (Clarence Snr)

Where was Clarence III at the time of the murder? 

Check Margaret’s statement. 

Margaret says that she bumped into Clarence on the 2nd floor and asked him to look for Mark Tewkesbury. We need to determine what time this was. 

Follow the clues for Margaret before proceeding any further with these hints.

We now know that Margaret was with Dr. Ross at the time of Astrid’s death, and this would have been when Clarence was looking for Mark Tewkesbury. 

When was Clarence next seen? 

Follow the hints for Tewkesbury before continuing with these hints. 

Tewkesbury saw Clarence III on his balcony after returning from the post office. This happens before Tewkesbury enters the house and hears Horace and Clarence breaking through the study door. As such, all of the statements tie together – as Tewkesbury returns from the post office, Clarence III is helping Margaret find all of the guests for the grand photo, and as such, Clarence entered Tewkesbury’s room/balcony to find him.
