They were colour-coded, no jury will convinct

Within three episodes of the Magnus Archives I have heard the following:

The rumour is [Elias Bouchard] killed Gertrude Robinson.

Jude Perry (TMA089)

Personally, the comfortable rigour of bureaucracy has always helped me. Perhaps doing a bit of mindless filing will help distract you.

Elias Bouchard (TMA090)

Oh, you weren’t here when we took the place over from Gertrude. It’s been over a year just to get it like this [ie without any database, not even chronologically sorted].

Martin Blackwood (TMA088)

So what I'm getting from those is that Elias murdered Gertrude for messing with his spreadsheets.

Arguably isn't that also why he killed Leitner? Stop eating into my electricity budget, Jurgen!
