The latest “Murder Weekend” at the Prince of Wales Hotel was nearing its climax in a frenzy of clues involving black magic, exorcism, embezzlement and an artificial sweetener. ’ The guests masquerading as amateur sleuths — and . paying 80 pounds ($160) for the privilege — were intent on finding the Hired actors p to be killers, victims and decoys. ; ENDS ON SUNDAY When the culprit was finally unmasked after breakfast on Sunday, only three would-be detectives had “whodunit.” : Even then Hercule Poirot might not have been impressed because no one unravelled the motive. ~ It turned out that the “murderess” was the personnel manager ofa fictitious sugar company of which all the actors and guests were supposed to be employees. or associates, She feared that her family. would be victims of a voodoo curse against 12° descendants of company directors, held responsible for'an 1883 fire at the firm's _ Haiti plantation in which 12 workers died. The curse had already claimed nine lives and she was a direct descendant. : “Murder Weekends” were the brainchild. of Joy Swift, a British hotel executive who got the idea after listening to a news report about a real murder ina New York hotel in 1981. “Crikey, I thought, it would be terrible if there were ‘a real life murder in our hotel,” said Swift. “Then, I started thinking about it and I decided it would be fun if you could get it organized so the guests are all involved.” Since 1981, h of iP and Ame: mystery buffs have travelled to this seaside resort and associated hotels to spend make-believe weekends in detective dramas set at weddings, college reunions, company parties and Hollywood film sets, The Caribb party ibly was to celeb the launch of an artificial sweetener’to revive the sugar company’s fortunes. But as the weekend three bers of the party were murdered after receiving such voodoo warnings as the severed head of a chicken and pin-stabbed straw. dolls. The hotel staff carried stretchers in and out of the dining rooms and corridors with hospital-like precision. But some normal hotel guests — including members of a wedding party —gasped as the bloody bodies rushed by. ‘When the journalist was mock-murdered during the costume party, a hired Caribbean steel band stopped playing and raced out to the garden to see the plucked chicken around the victim's neck and three voodoo candles at his feet. They had not been told about the intricate “game” being played and were visibly alarmed, It was hard to distinguish those paid to take part in the plot. CLUES GALORE For the amateur sleuths, it was an almost non-stop search for clues from the actors and a “clueboard” in the lobby, plus the challenge of sifting out red herrings. “There's something crazy about all the people here,” said Jeb Falby, an A i director living in Paris. “The essential of this game is you have to play. The moment you sit out, it doesn’t work.” Graham Caddock, 16, of Liverpool, a student at his 4 second weekend, said “I think the best thing about them is you can meet people. “I don't think you have to be an Agatha Christie fan. That's the whole point. You can just get involved.” The weekends are sold out months in advance — . because of the superb involvement of the actors and - guests, said Swift. “I haven't had one letter saying it was in bad taste, “But I do get letters saying, ‘De you ever think you'll get bby Murderer coming here?’ That's a very worrying thing.”
