The day of the murder - Sunday december 16
It was half past six in the morning. Verbier’s Palace was in darkness. Outside, it was still dark and it was snowing a lot. The doors of the service elevator opened on the sixth floor. A hotel employee appeared in the hallway with a breakfast tray and went to room 622.
Upon arrival, he realized that the door was ajar. Light filtered through the crack. He announced his presence, but received no response. In the end, he took the liberty of entering, assuming they had left the door open for him. What he discovered made him scream. He fled to warn his companions and call an emergency.
As the news spread through the Palace, the lights went on in all the floors.
A corpse lay on the carpet in room 622.
