A boy (Dan) aged 12 was found dead at the bottom of a public swimming pool. He had gone swimming with his parents, his mum's friend and his girl-friend. The swimming pool had been empty apart from a man doing laps. The boy was a great swimmer so it is believed he was murdered.
What happened?
Suspects:
1. mother
2. father
3. life-guard
4. his girl-friend (Caz)
5. mother's friend
6. man doing laps

How come he was at the bottom?
Did he wear concrete shoes, or was he somehow tied to the ground?

Yeah! Another "Who done it".
What do his parents have to say about it?
What time did everybody leave, and who did they leave with?

1. Mother: i don't understand. How could he die? Who would want to kill him. (she burst into tears .)
Father: Why him? Why? It all my fault. It was my idea to go swimming to meet his girl-friend, it all my fault. We should not have gone. But why him?
2. The body was found by Caz. She was very upset and when the ambulance came she want to go on. She left with Dan's mother's friend who took her home. The parents when to the hospital. The man, after trying to help, left alone.

Based on the thread title, I say it was the work of Dark Elves! 
Ask them all where they were when he died. How come they did not see it if they were all there at the pool?

2. father = dito
3. life-guard = falling asleep
4. his girl-friend (Caz) = they were playing it and he was up so she was swimming away from him.
5. mother's friend = see 1 +2

1. Check under the fingernails of suspects for skin of Dan.
2. Whose stuff is in the locker?
3. did the 'man doing laps' knew Dan or his parents?
At this point, I think it was a consipiracy between all of them. If Dan was a 'great swimmer', he would have made SOME noise when being pulled down (in a fight). How come no one heard?
BTW: (4) Check Dan's blood for drugs.

2. What were their relations back in school?
3. Check MDL office, try to find mismatch between subscription and drug invantory.
4. Is the drug found in Dan's blood used normally on human or animals?

1. Ask father why he hates MDL
2. Ask MDL why he hates father
3. Ask mother and mother's freinds what were Dan's father feelings toward him
4. Ask father why he said "it's all my fault"
As for the hint, I didn't even see it before... I guess we have to search for fingerprints somewhere... but where? maybe:
5. Check fingerprints on Dan's locker -- does it match any of the suspects' fingerprints?
