Where ? The death took place in the bedroom
When ? the death took place sometime between the hours of 10am and 4 pm Boxing Day

you need to work out the how the death happened and why and the circumstances surrounding the suspicious death.Was it murder?

final clue there are two cats in residence

Looks like death by misadventure to me "¦ though I suspect there may be something you're not telling us.
 
Check It's properly cooked...the Juices Should run Clear..Is it piping hot in the middle?...Murder ..Nah, it's dinner!
 
Very well, then just one more question....

Do you hold any suspects in custody, children, grownups, any other family pets ?
 
ha ha no no one is being held at this time as it is thought to be `death by misadventure' but the circumstances are still unclear[;)] ie what led up to the death and what caused the death

It was thought at first to be death by asphyixia due to dust inhalation [:D][:D][:D]
 
ok yes thats the cause of death . It is assumed that one of the cats brought the vole in alive and after several days of starvation it decided to comit suicide by eating through the cable , which was live obviously.

I was just about to get into bed and noticed it under the chair. The confetti looked like shredded paper and curious I had to go get my glasses and when I realised it was the cable I couldn't believe it.!

Both live and neutral were bare and thank god the bedroom had been shut ot one of the cats might have got a fatal shock. Its amazing I didn't grab the cable to pull it out of the way [:(]

Cannot believe it didn't blow the fuse or start a fire. Just shows you how easy it is for an electrical fire to start ....scary....
 
I take it circuit breakers don't work on water voles!

My dad is about to wage war on the local mouse population. The fan stopped working on his TT so he took it into a garage who dismantled it and found - wait for it- 3kg's of nuts hoarded in his fan unit! They filled a large plastic bag. Apparently the mice have been using it as a winter store. However after noticing the panel air filter had been nibbled thorugh they also found a handful of nuts in the intake. He was luckly none have been ingested into the turbo.

Seems electricity might be a very efficient method of dealing with the cheeky little critters.
 
For a brief period of time the victim was a hot water vole.

Last thought - "Bloody hell, this plastic is tough, I'm never going to chew through ...".

I bet it set it's teeth on edge, 240 volts through the canines.

Cheers,

Same thing happened to my Dad, storing his classic TVR over the winter. Found the mice making a cosy home/store in the air vent hoses and duly left traps around the garage which poisoned them. Didn't think any more of it until taking the car out for it's first run of the spring "¦ when the accumulated nuts, seeds and mouse droppings flew out into my Stepmum's face and hair!

Thank god for that I thought the little blighter pulled the breaker out of its socket and............It fell on him(he might only have concussion??)[:D][:D]
 
5 mins after the picture he `jumped' from the first floor bathroom window in the dark ably assisted by me[;)]
