Queenie Williams Murder Case Study

458 Words2 Pages

Arthur Williams died on October 5th, 2015. Queenie Williams was out at the country club with her friends until she arrived home around one in the morning to supposedly find her husband dead at the bottom of the stairs. His wife is believed to be the alleged killer based on evidence at the crime scene.
Queenie had said that her and her husband had had a heated argument resulting in having the wife leave for the night, and when she arrived home he was laying at the base of the step unmoving. Key witnesses have reported that when Queenie arrived at the country club she seemed “agitated and not herself”. Mrs. Williams has chosen not to tell the police what the quarrel was about, but it is possible that the argument was a possible motive to kill …show more content…

The picture that was taken late last night shows Queenie’s husband’s left foot on the second stair from the bottom and his right foot on the third. If he were to have fallen from the top of the stairs, drunk, he wouldn’t be laying upside down with his legs above him. I would also like to inform that when falling from stairs one might think to catch himself in whatever way possible. The candles on the wall were untouched and not to mention that the glass in Arthur’s hand was still there and unbroken. In general, the whole situation seemed staged. It is very possible that Queenie hit her husband in the head with the pan that was on the stove, and in an attempt to cover it up she acted like she was cooking something. The autopsy shows that Arthur was drunk and it is probable that Arthur was on his way down for another drink and then unfortunately slipped. That event is unlikely based on research that has been done. Queenie’s friends showed up about ten minutes after she got home – it only takes two minutes from a wound to the back of the head to kill someone.
The time that Mrs. Williams supposedly arrived at her home to the time that an ambulance was able to arrive is minutes that are regrettably unaccounted for. As of now, there is more than enough evidence to list Queenie Williams as a suspect in Arthur’s case of potential murder. When looking at the evidence at the household and level of anger during the couples argument it is safe to consider Queenie feasibly

    In 1873, Mary Ann Cotton was arrested and put on trial for the murder of her seven-year-old stepson Charles Edward. Immediately after hearing of the boy's death, the coroner ordered a post mortem, which was carried about by Dr. Kilburn, on a table in Mary Ann's house. The inquest was held the exact same day next door from her house and with such little time, no cause of death was actually found and "natural causes" was recorded as the verdict of death ("The Story of Mary Ann Cotton: A Frail Dressmaker's Poisonous Past").

  • Meriwether Lewis Autopsy Report

    956 Words  | 4 Pages

    There is physical evidence to support the probable cause of death, there is additional evidence to prove and reveal that there were important suspects involved, and the opposing belief that he committed suicide has inaccurate and inconsistent evidence. The main culprit was George Wilkinson, as he had the strongest motive against Lewis and he was linked with people who could and would help him in his plan to murder Lewis. The owner of the inn, Robert Grinder, could have been involved in order to make a profit, and the inn could have been a trap for Lewis. The innkeeper’s wife would help by acting as a witness and sharing an account (or several accounts) of what had happened in order to be a cover-up. Then, other people linked to this, such as James Neely, would support this account by making a backstory about Lewis’ behavior on the journey and sharing it.

    Furthermore, one of the most interesting roles in the ensemble of characters is Curley’s wife: her name is never mentioned in the book, as a reminder that she feels completely anonymous and useless, since her role is not recognised by none of the other characters. Her self-obsession probably originates from her desperate and unfulfilled need of validation. Someone may argue that her character is designed only as a tool for the development of the story, but her strong personality goes beyond this function. The moment of her death is in fact the highest moment of the novella and the culmination of an ascendant climax that goes throughout the whole narration.
