Why did Tyrion kill Shae?

Victim: Name: Shae Age: Mid-20s Gender: Female Occupation: Prostitute, Former Handmaiden

Suspect: Name: Tyrion Lannister Age: Late 30s Gender: Male Occupation: Former Hand of the King, Nobleman

Summary:

On the evening of the incident, it is reported that Shae was killed by Tyrion Lannister in his father's chamber in the Red Keep. The victim, Shae, was found dead, lying on the bed with a chain of golden hands (known as the Hand of the King's chain) wrapped around her neck. There were visible signs of a struggle in the room, and the victim had ligature marks on her neck, which were consistent with strangulation.

Evidence and Testimonies:

  1. On the night of the incident, Tyrion Lannister was seen entering the Tower of the Hand by multiple witnesses, including a member of the Kingsguard and some servants.

  2. An investigation of the scene revealed that the Hand of the King's chain, which was used to strangle Shae, belonged to Tyrion Lannister. The suspect had been in possession of the chain earlier in the day, as confirmed by his squire, Podrick Payne.

  3. Tyrion Lannister had motive to kill Shae due to her involvement in a betrayal during his trial for the alleged poisoning of King Joffrey Baratheon. Shae provided false testimony against Tyrion, claiming that he conspired with Sansa Stark to kill the King.

  4. The suspect was found by his brother, Jaime Lannister, near the crime scene, appearing to be in a highly emotional state. Tyrion confessed to Jaime that he had killed Shae, revealing his anger and hurt over her betrayal.

  5. Physical evidence collected from the scene, including fingerprints and DNA, corroborate Tyrion Lannister's presence in the room where the murder took place.

  6. Further investigations revealed that Tyrion Lannister had a prior relationship with the victim, which involved an emotional attachment. This relationship provided additional motive for the suspect to commit the crime.

Based on the evidence gathered and witness testimonies, there is sufficient reason to believe that Tyrion Lannister is responsible for the death of Shae. The suspect has been apprehended and will be brought to trial for the murder of Shae.
