Jeffrey was known to be a huge bully at school
Jeffrey friend's discovered his body in his living room
There were also no forced enter
Nothing was stolen
Books were scattered all over the floor
Possible Solutions:
One of the people Jeffery William bullied killed him, there is a long list of people who he bullied.
Since there was no signs of forced entry so the killer could be anyone who was either in the house before he died or had keys to the house. So it could have been his parent/s, one of his friends that had keys to the house or someone else could have stolen a key.
A teacher could have killed him- confiscated his bag and stole a key to his house.
Statements:
Mrs William (Mum) "I was at work the whole day, why would anyone want to murder such a sweet boy. I should have spent more time with my sweet Jeffy when I had the chance, I don't know anyone who would want to murder him. He has 2 very close friends that wouldn't hurt a fly, he fit in so well with them because he had a very similar personality, he cared for everyone and had such a big heart."
Mr William (Dad) "I was also at work, I knew he had a bad rep at school because I got emails saying that my son had fights. However I didn't think someone would go this far to the point of murdering him. I would not say I was very close to my son but I knew what was going on in his life. I don't know his friends too well but I can say they were bad influences on him"
James (One of Jeffrey's close friends): " Jeffery is one of my closest friends, he was there for me when I needed him but I wasn't there when he needed me the most. The last time I saw Jeffery was before the school assembly when he told me that he was going to skip assembly and go home."
Kai (one of Jeffery's closest friends): "The last time I saw both Jeffery and James, it was Tuesday after school when we were smoking weed together. I didn't see James on Wednesday, we both knew that Jeffery was going to skip school on Wednesday and stay home like he does every Wednesday. We were very close and I know that he wasn't the kindest person but I didn't think that anyone would go as far as murdering him."
Auston (bullied victim): "I wasn't at school on Wednesday because I was in bad shape, he had caught me and my friends seeing him and his stupid gang smoking weed a couple of days ago so we were beaten up by Jeffrey and his gang. But there was one time a few weeks ago before we got beaten up, Timmy said that he would get Jeffrey back for what he did to him."
Timmy (bullied victim): " I was so glad Jeffery didn't bother me that day. I then found out he wasn't at school that day which was strange because I saw Kai hanging with someone that definitely wasn't James on Wednesday before the assembly."
