The newspaper guy is the prime suspect here as he was the only person who stopped delivering newspapers from Monday onwards which is when he must have killed the poor fellow.
The Milk Guy was delivering as normal { there were 2 bottles of milk ( Tuesday & Wednesdays ) }
Also the mail guy is not the suspect as he was the one who reported the crime.
