Bert carefully plotted the murder of his wife.
One winter's day he strangled her in the bedroom, then faked a burglary. He ransacked the house, scattered possessions and broke through the patio doors.
He rigged the burglar alarm so it would go off later.
Two hours later, when Bert was in the middle of his golf game with three colleagues, the burglar alarm went off and the police were alerted. They found the house apparently broken into and the woman strangled. No animals or electrical devices were found which could have set the alarm off, so it looked as though an intruder had set off the alarm before killing the poor woman.
Bert was never arrested or charged.
The police inspector long suspected Bert, but there was one question which he could not fathom: How did Bert get the burglar alarm to go off while he was golfing with his friends?
Can you work it out?
(Answer in a week or so..)
