The Curious Case of the Copper Load

Shockwaves are rippling through the community; earlier this morning, it was reported that popular iron sculptor, Ben Dittaway, had been found slumped in his workshop just days before his newest exhibition. His demise seemed accidental until closer inspection of one sculpture revealed a chilling message etched into the metal: "I'm in danger"! Is this the work of a bitter rival, or is something more sinister going on?

Now suspecting foul play, DCI Rusty Forge has collated a list of all those who may have wanted to harm Ben and needs help from top detectives to whittle down the list. Can YOU solve the clues to figure out which suspects have a cast-iron alibi and which one is guilty?
