The Inspector eventually pushed his way through the crowd and gazed upon a most peculiar and gruesome sight: a clawed-foot tub—chipped along the rim and two of its feet missing—and sitting inside were three dead men, names currently unknown but occupations clear thanks to their clothing.
"Sir," the Inspector looked up as his Constable drew near, notepad in hand and shaking his head ruefully, "no one saw exactly what happened but given the state of the two bashed heads, we believe it was Candlestick-maker that did it—we found what we believe is the murder weapon in the bottom of the tub—and then killed himself."
Rub-a-dub-dub
