Curious Murders of Convent of Mercy!: Gilly Penworth Murder Investigations Limited Read online

  My sister says it was nearer to 9a.m. As she had just made a pot of tea, and I sat and had a cup after I made the call! Does that make sense. Yes, Child it does, and also fits in with something else,which means that Mother Superior was certainly in her room until about 9.30 and then must have walked around the convent that is what the Police think.

  Well tell the Police to contact me if they want confirmation, oh before you go I have remembered what she said, I 'phoned as you know because I am getting married, and having a baby. Therefore I 'phoned to tell her that I would not be coming into the Convent on Vocation because of what I have just told you.

  She said she was pleased for me, and pleased I had cancelled because she was expecting to see someone else this morning who had a similar problem and she would be able to take care of her

  Now whether she was going to see a woman who was pregnant outside marriage, I really do not know or whether it was a young person like me! She was certainly going to see someone who was expecting, that I do know!

  Well my child you have certainly helped us, we will let the Police know what you have told us, and let them have your number in case they need to hear it from you. That will be all right won't it? of course!

  Eddie, That person I have just spoken with was the same voice I spoke to this morning when I cancelled my vocation! Yet she says that Mother Superior called Sister Bernardette has been murdered this morning in their garden. I would swear on oath that the woman who was asking me questions just now when you were listening is the person who said she was Mother Superior!

  You don't think that she, meaning the person I have just spoken to as murdered the original Murder Superior do you?

  Well I have heard about certain things happening in Convent's! A certain amount of jealousy is always ripe within Convents! They fall in love with the new Father especially if he is attractive looking!Now you tell me!

  Behave Angie, and listen if you feel that she is the person who spoke to you this morning then you must ensure that the Police are told. I will always go with you, from now on you always have me! Just never forget that, and I know I will always have you! You certainly will and all our children as well!

  Yes but I did fall in love, but you were only thinking about going inside because of being pregnant you did not have a true vocation, so don't think you did!

  If I am honest I do not believe that I had a vocation for the Catholic Church, I certainly prefer the Anglican Church myself! That allows you to have a normal life, just like anyone else!

  Well, I am just going to let Uncle Peter know what we are going to have to do regarding the Mother Superior and hopefully he will come to the Police Station with us! Right while you 'phone him I will get you a glass of milk, seeing you forgot to drink milk at lunchtime! Make your call and I will listen in!

  Angie, here drink this milk, you have brought the milk bottle in, of course I have I was not sure how much milk you would need!

  Uncle Peter, yes Angie, don't tell me your Mother is having a fit! No of course not, but we do seem to have a problem in that the Mother Superior seems to have been murdered or so I have just been told, and yet the person who answered the 'phone this morning when I 'phoned to cancel my appointment claimed to be the Mother Superior,and now when I have asked to speak with her I am told she has been murdered, and yet it is the same person who spoke to me this morning!

  Eddie suggested we 'phone you to see if you would come with us to the Police Station while we tell them all this, because the voice is certainly the same person whom we spoke with this morning!

  Tell Eddie I will certainly go with you, also I will see if my friend the Chief Constable is available. Thank you Uncle Peter, well knowing the Chief Constable should help matter along!

  Eddie and I have been thinking,do you think it is possible for the lady who claimed to be the Mother Superior twice this morning, carried out the murder of the Mother Superior and then started to say she was the Mother Superior because it sounds like that to us! This person who is now saying she is Mother Superior told me that the other Mother Superior if you see what I mean was murdered in the garden this morning! You could well we right about this person murdering to get the position of Mother Superior!

  I believe Uncle Peter that she is lying! I would go to court and swear an oath that the lady who as just spoken to us now was the lady I spoke with this morning and she claimed to be the Mother Superior when she answered the 'phone!

  Jealousy within Convents and Church are always ripe, as everyone is always jealous of each other! Well Uncle Peter, I am just so pleased that I am getting married and having a baby! Just keep on thinking that way,especially when you are there washing all those dirty Nappies! Now Uncle Peter don't be awful!

  To be serious Angie there is certainly something seriously wrong at the Convent and I am pleased you never set foot in that place! We shall find the Murderer is within the Convent and likely to have been within the Walls of the Convent for a good number of years!

  You just see if I am correct, like you I would come down on the side you were thinking of, the person who said she was the Mother Superior, as it was certainly wishful thinking on her part!

  The true Mother Superior was murdered due to jealousy as normal around these places!

  Do you think I should ask our Gilly to become involved in this case of Murder as your friend the Chief Constable as certainly worked on a few cases with Gilly, and he does think very highly of her!Uncle Peter if you could sound him out first before I mention the case to her, because we would not want to place her in any danger!

  Will you let me know what he thinks? Yes when we meet ,as we are going to the Station remember, and you are both calling for me!

  Hello you two, are you ready to start work? Why what do we have to do? Well first of all we shall be meeting with the Chief Constable, and hopefully he will have some coffee for us, and then I would think that all help will be let loose and there will be a murder enquiry amongst us!

  Here we are, mind how you get out of the back, in fact just sit and wait for Eddie to come round and sort things out for you! Thank you Eddie but I can manage, later may be but for the early stages we have to take care! Understood? Yes all right but I thought I was taking care!

  Hello, Charles let me introduce you to my niece Angelina known as Angie to her family, and this is my Curate Edward, who is going to be married very shortly to Angelina!

  Now before we start on this murder of the Mother Superior, you wanted to know Angie if we should ask Gilly to be involved, yes but I do not want her to be in any danger, I just wanted her to see how many Sisters are still in that Convent and who the new Mother Superior is and if it is the same one I originally spoke with when she stated she was Mother Superior!

  I just have this feeling, that something odd was going on in that Convent! And yes I know places like Convents are even worse than Boarding Schools, but that apart there was certainly something odd about all those 'phone calls, and now the Mother Superior being murdered, and yet the voice on the 'phone is just the same!

  There are too many mirrors for my liking! I think someone as been murdered but if that is correct, then the person who as been murdered cannot possibly be the Mother Superior I spoke with because that particular person still answered the 'phone to me today!

  I feel that when I originally spoke with the “Mother Superior” she was not the actual Mother Superior at all, and now the same voice is saying that she is Mother Superior, so therefore who exactly as been murdered, either the true Mother Superior who I never did meet, or the one I did meet but was just pretending to be the Mother Superior!

  I just think it is extremely strange that this is being carried out, what was the purpose of all this mess in the first place, and why play to the Gallery when no one is actually watching the play!

  Uncle Peter, can I run something by you and see if you agree! I have been thinking about my expected visit to the Convent, and the telephone calls to and from the Mother Superior because as fa
r as I am concerned the Mother Superior is still alive and answering the 'phone!

  As far as I am concerned, the person who as always announced herself as the Mother Superior is still alive, with one puzzling action by that I mean, when she now answers the 'phone she says The Holy Convent, can I help you? There is no mention of her being Mother Superior!

  This voice, who ever they are is alive and lives within the Convent, and as always in my various telephone conversations, stated that she is The Mother Superior! Why does does she now just give the Convent Name?

  Therefore the most important question is who is actually Sister Bernadette, Mother Superior of The Holy Convent? Does this person really exist or who as been murdered, another one of the Sisters? Or is this just more play acting which seems to be allowed within the walls of the Convent!

  I do believe there as been a murder carried out within the Convent, but the story lines they are giving out is pure rubbish and they are just attempting to gloss over the whole Murder!

  I believe that pure jealousy and evil run within the Halls of this Convent, and we will probably end up with more bodies than we originally thought!

  Hello,Heather is that you? No I have gone on Holiday! Gilly why are you asking me if I am me,when you knew I would be here and I answered the 'phone! Oh Heather, I have just come across some bodies! What kind of bodies? Well, as you know I am looking at this matter together with the Chief Constable, and there are certain Areas within the Convent they do not wish him to go into, such as the cells of any of the Sisters!

  Well Heather, I have just been into one of the rooms or cells as they call them, and there in bed dead is a very old Sister, but not only as she been murdered, but she is now decomposing and the smell is horrible!

  Also the leather belt is still around her neck! She looks as if she is hurting! The look is certainly not normal shall we say! I just cannot get my head around the fact that they murder someone and leave the body where it was murdered! Why do they murder them in the first place and then go and leave them where they murdered them! Nothing about this makes any sense to me at all!

  In another Cell are two bodies of Babies, both born obviously but never lived or probably did but not wanted on board! I have just asked the Chief Constable to walk around with me, as I can see this case being allowed to explode!I need protection! Before you start we are all armed in fact I have my usual two with me! Plus The Chief Constable is here with four back-ups all armed!

  All I will say is Thank God you decided to get married Angie because this place is just horrendous, pure evil is a float in this Convent

  Talk about Convents being part of the Church, all I can say is that the Church must belong to Satan himself. The bodies we have found in this Convent is just unbelievable!

  This way Chief Constable, we need to walk along there and look into each Cell, just wait a second Gilly I have just called for more men! Each entrance will now have cover, once I have confirmation of that, we will start our walk around!

  Hello, yes good, in that case Gilly and I will require two now and then see what we find, but in the meantime call down reinforcements, use my name and say armed, that is urgent! We will meet you in the front hallway, come on Gilly reinforcements for us in the Hall, this way!

  I just have a funny feeling about this place, how can the Church allow such a carry-on?

  That poor old Sister had been murdered and just left in her bed!

  Now Gilly, watch out for all manner of things, even more bodies I would say! Yes, it is OK now we have more men with us, just in case the Sisters' start anything as I would not trust any of them!

  Lets look in all the Cells, we will look in all the left hand side Cells and come back on the right hand side and see if we can find any more bodies!

  What a horrible bare room and it certainly smells odd don't you think, no sheets on the bed this Cell cannot be in use now. The light works, just wait with me please as I am just going to look in the wardrobe type cupboard because something is making this Cell smell awful!

  Gilly be very careful have you put your gloves on, yes I am fine! OK, then open the doors then we can see what you have found! Oh my God, just look at this !

  Come out of the way Gilly, let my men deal with them! But why have done this, why stab the babies? Now Gilly use your head, I bet you a pound to a penny these babies have been fathered by a Catholic Priest!

  Which means the Sisters and the Catholic Priests were unable to enjoy the fruits of their labours and the babies were left alone to die! Pure out and out Murders! Five lovely babies murdered, and when you think there are women out there longing to have children and cannot have them, and this lot just murder their children.

  I know what I would do with the Fathers and the Sisters, but we have had enough murders for now!But the poor old horses have to go through it!So they should as well!

  So Sister Bernardette has been murdered! But who actually carried out the murder Gilly, why the other Mother Superior of course! Yes but which one is that, the one that you spoke to last!

  Or may be not! It could be the one who was murdered!

  The problem seems to be that certain Sisters seem to like impersonating other Sisters, and to an outsider like we are, they enjoy totally confusing the situation. They seem to think it is hilarious to confuse the Police!

  What they do not realise or if they do realise they do not care what happens within the Convent, and because they have this do not care attitude they are going to get a rude awakening when they are all arrested on the suspicion of Murder!

  Are they all being arrested Gilly? Yes because they are all trying to give a false name therefore we have no alternative but to take all of them in! Which is not really what we wanted but as they are not going to say anything whilst they are still within the Convent walls, we have no alternative, because for certain one or more of them have committed murders!

  Everyone of the Sisters have now been arrested and put into the Vans to take them away, I have never seen so many Vans at any one time!

  We have only put four into a Van, then we know they cannot make the others tell the same story, because them being arrested as certainly confused them somewhat as they did not think any of them would be arrested!

  The Chief Constable and his men can see if they can make them talk, because as the moment they are all smiling and laughing, you would never believe that murder as been done within the Convent Walls!

  Heather are you there? No I have popped over to France shopping for my Wine!, of course I am here where did you think I was? Well I wanted you to know we have found one more body of an older Sister and she is wearing the large Cross that is usual for a Mother Superior but her body is decomposing somewhat and the smell is quite ripe!

  She as obviously been dead for quite some time! OH and I forgot to say she appears to have been stabbed and the knife is up to the hilt in her chest!

  Which section of the Convent are you in Gilly? The very old part at the back which backs on to the fields, right we will come over to you now! Just do not touch anything, no don't worry I won't!

  This mess inside the Convent is just unbelievable, first we have murdered babies, then we have murdered older Sisters of the Convent, and then we are told the Mother Superior is Murdered, and then we find another Mother Superior who is murdered!

  How many genuine Mother Superiors can there be within any one Convent, I would have thought only one, and yet this lot have hundreds of the buggers, they are just trying to lead us astray with all this acting and various bodies all over the place.

  There is one thing, all the dead bodies are certainly real but where they have come from is another problem, I think some of these bodies have been brought from another Convent, and have been brought into this Convent to confuse this issue.

  The worrying thing is, why as someone gone to a lot of trouble, just to try and confuse all these murdered bodies within this Convent, what are they frightened of the Police finding within the Convent Walls?

  It
would not surprise me one bit if they were somehow connected to the Gangs! Never forget that the Sisters way back always helped the Mafia! We shall have to wait and see!

  Gilly,can you hear me?Loud and clear Heather, Could you keep your eye open and your nose clear, and see if you can smell Drugs! Or see anything which you think may have been used for Drugs! OH, I think I know in which direction you are going, because in the past the Holy Convents always helped the Mafia Gangs, you are thinking these murdered bodies we keep finding are some how connected with the Mafia Gangs!

  Not sure, but there is certainly something from outside the Convent which is causing all these murdered bodies to appear, there must be a reason behind it all, the murders have certainly been carried out!

  Also with the Murdered Mother Superior's body in the Convent Garden taking place even though the Police have been around, it makes you wonder just who is in charge of this Convent! I cannot put my finger on it at the moment but there is something I have missed somewhere!

  Gilly calling,can you hear me, yes loud and clear, where are you and where have you been because you have been out of reach? Yes, I realised that when I tried to contact you earlier because I could have done with your help, but everything is all right so do not worry!

  Now have I got some news for everyone, I have found a huge container of Drugs and equipment! Gilly you were told to take a Policeman with you, I did he smelt the Drugs before I did but I actually found them!

  Now if you walk down the main Corridor to the right hand side by the stained-glass end wall on the right hand side it looks like a cupboard, Oh, yes I remember the doors are painted dark blue, yes that is the one, only it is not what is looks, if you open the doors it is like a large Depot of sorts, and they seem to have been busy packing up certain Drugs in the boxes together with needles and a syringe!

  I think somehow the Sisters have been helping the Mafia Drug Gangs, for some reason or other! At the moment I cannot think of any reason why they should help them other than the Italian Sisters help them!
