A stranger fumbled behind him with an umbrella he had dropped and mumbled "sorry" before walking away. Markov died four days later of what is believed to be ricin poisoning, for which there is no antidote.[/QUOTE] There's only three years left for the raincoat case and just one for the shoehorn case. A commemorative cluedo board game edition has been released featuring an umbrella and a bus stop in the hope of jogging people's memories of who did it. No one thought to check the manilla envelope at the bottom of the stairs.
That's some Agent 47 shit right there.
i remember this from BB
This story has always fascinated me.

Was Walter White seen in the area?
This sounds so scary because it seems so easy to do, and nearly impossible to discover that you were poisoned by a seemingly meaningless incident.
Smart, using a slower acting poison
and we still don't know who the zodiac is
Cool. I remember this being a plot point in the Americans.

I clicked on this because it reminded me of Resident Evil here.
Sounds like a Phoenix Wright case
