    .@JoshMatlow will be attending a friend's murder mystery party tonight. I'm guessing he didn't want to murder but the butler union made him.

  5. to which Matlow offered a playful retort that he later deleted.

    Still enamoured with the premise, and confident that there was a long string of worthy jokes yet to be told, I concluded that "Matlow Murder Mystery" would have to be the subject for either a comedy sketch or a hashtag. A hashtag was easier.

    Here is the complete archive of the gag:

    We won't get anywhere with bickering and accusations. Our decision must be based on evidence. #matlowmurdermystery

    Instead of finding the "killer," we should have a thoughtful discussion about what all sides contributed to the murder. #matlowmurdermystery

    Rather than argue whether victim was killed by a knife or a gun, I feel we can work together to find some middle ground #matlowmurdermystery

    I think we may have to have the suspect on my radio show to get to the bottom of this #matlowmurdermystery

    The butler did it? That's one way to look at it, but I believe we all played a part in this citizen's untimely demise. #matlowmurdermystery

    Spent the day speaking to the fantastic residents of Ward 22, hearing their thoughts on whether the victim is "dead." #matlowmurdermystery

    I want every hypothesis to get a fair hearing, even though my mind was made up before the crime was even committed. #matlowmurdermystery

    Yet another quietly hilarious #TOcouncil hashtag: #matlowmurdermystery, starring our favourite fence-sitter. For wonks only…

    Based on all testimony, I agree that the first suspect is no doubt the culprit. I will now arrest the second suspect. #matlowmurdermystery

    Step 2: Deduce that no suspects can be ruled out and equally weigh all evidence, regardless of corroboration #Matlowmurdermystery
