Murder Mystery

 

Although Leclair's murder remains a mystery, there is a possibility that his ex-wife may have been behind it – her motive being financial gain – although the strongest suspicion rests on his nephew. --adapted from Wikipedia

 

The elder Jean-Marie Leclair

  Was stabbed at 67,

And tragically he left la terre

  And took his trip to heaven.


We do not know who did the deed —

   A nephew with a knife?

Or could it be financial greed

   Excited his ex-wife?
