Answer 1

1. What happened was that someone fired a bullet from the rifle into the side of a fish tank. The projectile did not kill the FISH in the tank, but because the tank was shattered and the FISH (the victim) was no longer in its element (the water) it suffocated due to lack of oxygen.
2. NONE.. Ryan O'Neal
MARSH.. Omar Sharif
LIEN.. I'm working on it - I don't give up easily! Last one!
3. 1953 & 1959 because both 53 and 59 are prime numbers
and therefore each can only be divided by (1) and itself.

Answer 2

1. The perpatrator either held part of the gun across the vicitm's throat in order to strangle him, or the gun could have been shoved down the victim's throat.

3. The years in the 50s that cannot be a product of the day and month are 1953, 1958 (2/29/58 could work, but alas 1958 was not a leap year) and 1959. All the others can be expressed as a product of at least one day and month.

2/27/54

In number one, the rifle was held across the victims throat, until he expired. If the perpetrator is known, he can be brought to trial and possibly convicted. In 2 & 3, I've no idea.
