Is there an ideal crime? For many years, writers have been thinking about this idea, and murderers too. Some even managed to implement this idea. Take the case of Howard Green in London.



Green was a modest rapist, respected in society. He kept a diary that police found in his own home. In his diary, he analyzed 14 ways of killing his wife, to whom he had a deep secret hatred.



Some of the ways were ridiculous, others bold, one or two really brilliant. But what Green realized immediately was that the main danger to crime was not the ability to investigate facts in the past, but problems that could arise in the future.



Every alibi contains an element of lies that, if you try, can be revealed. Green concluded that the only ideal murder is not that which remains uncovered, but that which is uncovered, but with an unfaithful criminal.



In the end, not he kills her, but she kills him. One day she found his diary and stabbed it with kitchen scissors. The jury, shocked by the reading of the diary, considered the murder as self-defense and admitted the widow innocent.



Why is this an ideal crime?



Recently, it was discovered that the manuscript in the diary did not belong to Howard Green. The diary was written by the lover of his wife, a carpenter of art.
