Mr. Apidet was dumped outside a rescue service office in a bad way. Broken skull, broken neck and bruising over his face consistent with some form of attack. His wife confirmed that he was the sort of guy who spend his free time pissing people off, and consequently had many enemies.
But, and here is the solution to the mystery, an unknown person had called Mr. Apidet’s wife and told her that her husband had fallen out of a coconut tree. Shortly afterwards, the body was dumped at the rescue office.
Along come the local police who weigh up the evidence. Indeed, when Mr. Apidet was not busy angering all he met, he apparently liked to climb coconut trees. Presumably he could hurl abuse over a wider area from on high. That clinched it for the cops, he must have fallen and accumulated the injuries on the way to the ground. Case closed. Plonkers.
