Answers
Rupert Morrison is a character in the story "Death in the Kitchen" by Milward Kennedy.
Rupert Morrison makes a criminal mistake during his youth days, which is known to his school fellow, George Manning. Later, Morrison becomes a respected rich man and Manning had spent his days in prison. After returning from prison, Manning blackmails Morrison for money by threatening to expose papers related his crime. So Morrison plans to kill Manning.
Arrangements to kill Manning
- He adds a medicine to Manning's whisky, which makes him unconscious.
- Then he puts the head of Manning inside the gas oven and switches on the gas.
- He makes arrangements in such a way, that it would look like Manning was over drunk and killed himself accidentally by putting his head in the gas oven.
Rupert is shown as a cunning man who knows what he wants and tries everything to do it.
He put some sort of medicine in the Manning cottage which was taken by Manning with his whiskey.
This results in Manning losing his consciousness.
Once this was done, Rupert took Manning in his kitchen and used a gas oven.
He put his head in it that can make it look like suicide.
