She took them.
They both shot up and gouched out, when she got her shit together she realised he'd croaked, cleaned up the bits and pieces and fucked off, locking the door from the outside, and is now in hiding.

So you see, Watson, there really is no mystery at all.

Dear God, Holmes, how do you do it?

I first became suspicious when the publican made reference to the surveillance footage.
As you can see, the scuff marks around the lock match precisely those made by a ladies' nail file. The nail file which you yourself noticed in Lady Abingdon's study last night!

I can tell by her limp that she worked as a brickie for seven years in her youth.
The tattoo implies she had a brief stint in the Royal Navy but was discharged due to her mental issues, which you'll note, is obvious from how she carries her handbag.

But the reference to Swindon - come now, Holmes, even you....

locking that door from the outside is hard work with a screwdriver,
But yeah, that sounds about right.
The problem is, the footage provides credence to the coroners thinking he had been locked in their over 24 hours. I've done a stock take now on the up as well and that's all over the place, so if the manager does show up he's fucked, and the assistant that missed the body is definitely getting fired.
