Who Dunnit?

answers without questions? or vice-versa

A mystery has unfolded,
A perpetrator emboldened;
Captain O'Leary is astounded,
The townspeople are confounded.

Who would hurt the poor Chef
And stuff him under the table?
How and why are the questions -
Who could be so unstable?

A dastardly crime, no doubt;
Someone had some clout,
To do the poor Chef in,
Let the unveiling begin.

I believe since there is no Colonel Mustard
The evidence would be clear
The poor Chef tasted so much
The use of a poison is severe.

The one who committed the crime,
A deed most assuredly foul;
The mayor is the culprit!
Causing the townspeople to howl.

The mayor did in the Chef;
for "exchanging recipes" with the Mayor's wife.
