Question

Can you look at the image and tell if it was a murder or suicide?

Answer 1

It is a clear Murder.
Observations

1.From the position of the pen and the light lamp it is evident that the victim is left handed and not right handed. So if he wanted to commit suicide then he will use his left hand not right hand.
2.Although there is pen and paper on the table yet the lamp was disconnected from the power source which makes it evident that he was not writing the suicide note.(Considering to be condition of night by observing the window)
3.Again he has an unfinished cigarette in his left hand which again makes it evident that he was not planning to suicide. As it is a normal psychological behaviour. If he wants to commit suicide he will at least finish his last cigarette instead of rushing.
4.Again the last observation,if he would have used his right hand to commit suicide his blood splatter will not be on the wall and instead will be on the opposite direction.

Answer 2

Murder...the blood splatter is on the same side as the gunshot temple
