How a headless man arrived at a compound

of a palace was a puzzle the inspector had on its plate

associates pinned the headless figure on his shoulders.

He had an altercation with the dead ahead of the deed.

 

The police sealed the crime scene

to prevent another crime unseen.

A witness needs must come forth

with evidence of a crime seen.

 

The witness emerged

Suddenly without his head

two headless effigies

suspects at large

 

Who?
