"If the female servant stabbed the deceased first and shot during his struggle, from the time the deceased fell to when she screamed to draw our attention, it was only one minute and twenty seconds.
"And when we found the deceased, there was obvious blood coagulation on the ground. At room temperature, blood outside the body takes two and a half to five minutes to begin clotting.
