Anyone for Cluedo? Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Geogetters: GZ has gone missing again after being moved, and one of the WPs was missing (but there were no fences around any of them)... I have given up trying to maintain this one, so with regret, I am archiving it.

HISTORY OF CLUEDO

Cluedo was invented in 1944 by an English solicitor's clerk named Anthony E. Pratt. The game was originally invented as a new game to play during sometimes lengthy air raid drills in underground bunkers. Originally named "Murder!", Cluedo is a play on words between "clue" and "ludo", which is Latin for I play. Though the patent was granted in 1947, due to post-war shortages, the game was not officially launched until 1949.

The object of the game is for players to strategically move around the game board (a mansion), in the guise of one of the game's six characters, collecting clues from which to deduce which suspect murdered the game's perpetual victim.

Your mission is to solve the crime.

At the 3 waypoints given, you will find some hidden evidence that will help you in your investigation. Due to the nature of the gardens, tree cover may cause GPS accuracy to be out by several metres. Stealth may be required at times.

You will need to decide A: who did it, B: with what and C: in which room of the mansion.

The suspects:



The weapons:

1: Candlestick
2: Dagger
3: Lead Pipe
4: Revolver
5: Spanner
6: Rope

The rooms:
