The old woman's body must have been thrown from the windows at the front of the house rather than those at the back, as it lands on a grassy patch of some sort rather than in the back alley. However, the newspapers report that a crowd of people had already gathered at the front of the house, drawn by the screams of the two women, and yet none of them saw the window being opened and the body hurled out. Furthermore, the police discount the possibility of any of the windows being opened because they were nailed shut.
