Why would a clergyman kill a prostitute by making it look as if she committed suicide?
If an inspector found out that this prostitute had been killed, and that it was not a suicide, what could be the clues that lead to the clergyman?? Or, perhaps the clues lead to an innocent man, whom the inspector thinks is the criminal....though, in the end, he finds out that he is wrong.

It's a mystery based in the victorian era

It's obvious that there had been some sort of liaison between the prostitute and the clergyman, so there's the motive. You could take a hint from the real-life case going on right now of the actress Adrienne Shelley. If there were a man's footprint in the dust near a hanging, for instance, it would be obvious that someone besides the deceased had been there. Hope this helps.

Suicide is an "unforgivable" sin in the catholic faith-if the inspector finds clues to point to murder, clergyman being the suspect because he a) believes that as a prostitute she does not deserve to enter heaven b) suicide-fakes to point finger AWAY from self due to catholic belief(assuming catholic faith) c) kills her 'cause they're doing the dirty and she blackmails him by threatening to go his superiors----in her possession may be articles belonging to him as her guarantee of getting the cash she wants.... d)she's got the marks of his rosary beads wrapped around her neck from where he strangled her...I dunno...run out of ideas...

The clergyman is really Jack the Ripper?
