The mother was the murderer. We know from fact number three that the youngest person wasn't the victim, and from the fourth fact we know the youngest person wasn't the helper and from fact number six the youngest person was not the killer either. Therefore, the youngest person can only have been the witness. If we make up a chart there are now three possible combinations: Oldest person (father) H H M Next to oldest (mother) V M H Next to youngest (son) M V V Youngest (daughter) W W W (H = Helper ; V = Victim ; M = Murderer ; W = Witness) We can work out from fact number five that the father was the oldest and from fact two that the youngest person must have been the daughter. Therefore the next to the youngest must have been the son and the next to the oldest, the mother!
