The summary with the most upvotes (99) has been sent by 
So,
Congratulations,
Here is the summary:
It is 7:45am and the Benson compound was flooded with the officers of the police force, all looking for traces of evidence that could give a clue to cracking this case. "I just suddenly heard dogs barking in the compound in the middle of the night. We thought something was wrong but the dogs soon kept quiet and everywhere was calm, so I returned to bed" a neighbour reported when questioned.
The gunmen were professionals. Two shots to the forehead, gave him no chance of survival. Chief Benson until his assassination, was a successful businessman, but his recent involvement and zeal in politics made him more popular. In less than four months from now, he is supposed to be contesting for the office of the governor, alongside six other candidates, including the incumbent governor, who is contesting for a second term in office.
Was it a robbery gone wild or were they assassins?
For how long were they on his trail?
Why was he killed in his country home?
The police chief needs to give a statement soon and he does not want to appear confused...
