Detective Carter:  Good morning, Daniel. Thank you for coming. Could you briefly describe your relationship with your sister, Emma?

Daniel Collins:  Look, detective, our relationship was like any sibling relationship. We argued sometimes, but nothing serious. We had our differences, but deep down we cared for each other.

Detective Carter: Witnesses reported that you had several recent arguments, some of them quite aggressive. Could you clarify the reason for that?

Daniel Collins: It was about money, I admit. I was going through financial difficulties and did some things without consulting her, things I now deeply regret. But I would never hurt my sister because of that!

Detective Carter: So you admit to selling family properties without Emma's authorization to cover gambling debts?

Daniel Collins: I admit it. I made terrible mistakes, and I know she was rightfully angry, but I never got to the point of thinking about hurting her. I would never do that to Emma.

Detective Carter: I understand. Could you tell me exactly where you were between midnight and two in the morning on the day of the murder?

Daniel Collins: I was at Lucky's Bar, near the town. There are cameras there and friends who can confirm my presence. I wasn't near that church that night.

Detective Carter: So why were your fingerprints at the entrance of the old church?

Daniel Collins: I was there a few days earlier looking for Emma, who had the habit of visiting old places for her research. It was quick, I didn't spend much time there.

Detective Carter: We found blood traces on your sweater. Care to explain that?

Daniel Collins: I have no idea how the blood got there. Maybe I hurt myself without noticing, I really can't say. But I did nothing against my sister.

Detective Carter: Daniel, you were financially desperate. Emma threatened to expose you, destroying any chance of getting financial help. Did you kill her to protect your share of the inheritance and eliminate your problems?

Daniel Collins: No! I didn't kill Emma! I would never do that, no matter how desperate I was. She was my sister, do you understand? I would never do something like that.

Detective Carter: Alright, Daniel. Thank you for your testimony. We'll check your alibi in detail.

Daniel Collins: Please do that. I need you to believe me. I want justice for my sister.
