| Mr. Umar | I was watching a movie with my wife. Then I went to the kitchen to prepare tea. |

| Mr. Umar | I think 10 or 15 minutes… I’m not sure…. |
| The Inspector | Did you prepare tea? |
| Mr. Umar | Yes |
| The Inspector | OK. Thanks. |
The Inspector also asked Mrs. Umar some questions:
| The Inspector | What were you doing at around 10 pm yesterday? |
| Mrs. Umar | I was watching a movie while drinking my coffee. |

| The Inspector | OK. What was he doing in the kitchen? |
| Mrs. Umar | He was thirsty. He wanted to drink water. |

| The Inspector | So, you were alone at home, weren’t you? |
| Mrs. Umar | Yes, I was. I called him immediately but he didn’t answer. |
