A student body has been found. The student was murdered. After you investigate further, other victims with a familiar link are getting murdered. But who is the killer? 

Explore these places within Coventry to find out more on what happened.

Start at the HUB to solve the mystery.
Headphones are advised.

Start here at the HUB.

You were hired as a private investigator to look for a missing person and start your search at the HUB.

Breaking news! Someone has been murdered on the sun deck. Head to the sundeck to investigate further.

Here on the sundeck, you find the body of the missing teen you were hired to search for. There is some blood splattered on the deck next to a dead body. It looks like James' death was intended.

As you inspect the crime scene, you stumble across a staff ID card from the Herbert Gallery with the name 'James Richards'.  This is your first clue.

Head to the Herbert Gallery to gather up more clues on James Richards.

You look around The Herbert for more clues about what James was doing before his death. Was there anyone seen with him? Was there anything suspicious going on?

The staff at the front desk tell you that they last saw James on his work shift the day before his varsity basketball match. One of the staff is a close friend of James and mentioned that he and his team normally go to Drapers after a match for a social gathering.

Investigate further at Draper's Bar and Kitchen.

On your way to Drapers, you find another body with a pool of blood in Bayley Lane Park. Again, it is a student who's death looks intended.
 
As you search through the second victim's belongings, you find tickets to a Coventry v. Warwick varsity match as well as a sports kit. 

Is he a friend of James?

You immediately phone the police who deals with the second victim while you continue your investigation at Drapers.

You head into Drapers and approach the bar staff which tell you that there was a lot of people that played in a basketball varsity game last night and came here to drink and celebrate winning the match. 

As you are told this, the police come in to find you and tell you that the second body was a female that was also in Drapers celebrating after the varsity match last night.

You ask if there was someone working all night while the team were here. The bar staff points to the cleaner. You approach the cleaner and she explains that she heard an argument between a few members of the team which resulted in a few people heading outside. But that is all she knows. 

Both victims must have been involved with the basketball team. 
Head to the University Sport's and Recreation Centre to find more clues.

The university basketball team meet here at the University Sports and Recreation Centre and have just started their training.

You ask the coach if the whole team has turned up for todays training. He mentions that a few of the members are still getting changed and two members have not turned up at all. 

You ask some of the members questions about the victims and inform them of what has happened. The team are shocked as they were unaware of the killings. They have no new information for you. The training session is cancelled due to the fatality so the team and coach start to pack everything away. 

You go to the changing rooms to ask the late members some questions. 

As you open the door to the changing rooms there is a man attacking the vice-captain of the basketball team!

The man is startled and has made a run out of the changing room. You rush to the vice-captain to find him losing a lot of blood then you quickly proceed to phone an ambulance. He repeats the word “coach” to you before he dies.

Fortunately, you now have a brief understanding of what the killer looks like. 

You head back to the court where you find the coach who is about to leave, you decide to keep quiet about what the vice-captain said before his death. The coach mentions he is going to drive home.

You follow the coach to Gosford Car Park as you suspect that the coach may be the next target.

While following the coach to the car park, you call for backup from the law enforcement team as you suspect the killer could be waiting there ready to strike.

As the coach approaches his car, a mysterious man walks towards the coach from behind the pillar. You recognise him as the man who attacked the vice-captain earlier!

You immediately signal the backup team to engage in the situation and the killer is arrested!

When questioned, the man reveals that he is also a student and a member of the basketball team.

He was angry because he wanted the team captaincy instead of James. He was Jealous. He saw himself as a much more talented player than James and he deserved the captaincy more. After the team won the match, James and the murderer got into a nasty fight and James got away, running to the HUB. The killer chased after him and murdered him. The second victim was a friend of James and had witnessed his death, so she had to go too. So as she fled back towards Drapers to get help, the killer murdered her too. 

The killer wanted to punish the coach for not choosing him for the captaincy which is why he was next on the list. 

Thankfully you caught him just in time, well done!
