Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statistically, women are more likely to be killed by someone they know, and the most likely suspect for a married woman's murder would be her husband or intimate partner. Therefore, the police would likely investigate the husband first to see if he had any motive or evidence linking him to the crime.
