Answer 2

The maid Sophia had committed the crime of killing Mr.James.

Uncovering the mystery:

• A situation is given and a few circumstances are provided, with which we should find out the murderer.
• Mr.James was the one who is killed. There are four other people who have the key for the room.
• Sophia, the maid says that she saw Mr.James dead and so she screamed.
• The butler, John, tells that after hearing her scream, he went into the room and switched on the light. Only after that he could find Mr.James dead with a knife in his neck.
• Sarah had come along with the butler and Jack is the last person to know it last.
• Out of these, Sophia is the one who could have done the crime because, John switched on the light and only then he could see; whereas, Sophia who entered the room claims to have seen it even in dark, which is not possible.
• As she was the one who had done it, she knew that Mr.James would be lying down there and so shouted.
• Therefore the answer is: Sophia, the maid.
