Eight guests at a murder mystery party in Yeovil were left red-faced after failing to notice a real crime had been committed a few hours earlier.
The group of church-goers were using the Elim Pentecostal’s building in Yeovil for a dinner party on Saturday night and spent the evening looking for clues in a fictional murder.
But, it’s emerged not one of them spotted that the church had actually been broken into on Friday night – with thieves getting away with a large TV, laptop computer and the contents of a raided safe.
It was only on Sunday morning that the vicar, Reverend Howard Davenport, came to the church and realised what had happened. It capped a testing week for the vicar, whose car had also been smashed up outside the church only the day before.
Revd Howard Davenport said: “In situations like this you have to laugh really! We were obviously disappointed that the church had been targeted twice in a week, but when I heard that it hadn’t even been noticed I had to smile.
"You’d have thought that eight wannabe detectives might have noticed a real crime a few metres from them only hours earlier!”
