The workshop manager's voice was laced with guilt.
He never expected that his brother-in-law, who usually seemed so tough, would have caved so quickly and told them everything.
"Alright, I have a clear picture of what happened now. Neither of you is getting away with this!" The older police officer pointed at the workshop manager, then left amid the man's frantic shouts.
Once they confessed, the rest of the case was much simpler.
The motive for killing Walter Newton was also simple: a few years ago, he had witnessed the two of them murdering a minor.
He hadn't said anything at first because he planned to use it as leverage to blackmail the factory manager and the workshop manager whenever he was short on cash.
To score some spending money.
But he never expected that instead of getting money, he would lose his life.
The factory manager and the workshop manager confessed to their crimes without reservation. They had preyed on a minor and then brutally murdered another person.
