When the crime in Regent’s Park was referred to the Commissioner’s Office, the case was immediately handed over to Chief Inspector Macdonald for investigation. Macdonald, when he heard the brief salient facts, said:
“Well—that’s an unusual story: murder isn’t uncommon, but murder in the presence of witnesses is quite uncommon. In the circumstances I’ll finish off this report and get it done with. Tell the Regent’s Park fellows I’ll be with them shortly. Meantime, they can carry on.”
