And then there were none

by
Ten people….
Anthony Marston, Mrs. Rogers, General Macarthur, Mr. Rogers, Miss. Brent Mr. Justice Wargrave, Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Blore, Philip Lombard, Vera Claythorne.
Soldier Island, is their destiny, they all seem to have different people or different things to do there, the two servants Mr and Mrs Rogers have had previous instructions as to what to do by letter informing them that the mysterious owner of the house Mr Owen had told them that he would only delay a day or so and that they were to receive some guests and give them everything they needed. The incomers were confused by this explanation they had expected something else or someone else.
A strange tape is put on and reveals that each one of the present people have committed murderer.
Nine people, suddenly one of them chokes and dies in the instant, it is found that he had been poisoned, there seems to be a murderer between the assistants, but who?
Suddenly a whole lot of homicide cases take place following a nursery rhyme:
Ten little soldier boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were Nine.
Nine little soldier boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there was Eight.
Eight little soldier boys travelling to Devon;
One said he stayed there and then there were Seven.
Seven little soldier boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there were Six.
Six little soldier boys playing with a hive;
A bumble bee stung one and then there were Five.
Five little soldier boys going in for law;
One got in Chancery and then there were Four.
Four little soldier boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were Three.
Three little soldier boys walking in the Zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were Two.
Two little soldier boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was One.
One little soldier boy left all alone;
He went and hanged himselfAnd then there were None.


Each of the soldiers represents a person of the ten that have gone to the house.
They search everywhere for a possible extra person there and find, nothing.
So we have a question:Who is the Murderer?
