Writing exercise

I heard about a murder in this community. The story began when Ms. William noticed that her neighbor Ben havenā€™t stepped outside the door for a couple of weeks, which she thought he just left for a month-long trip at first till she got a call from the police. As officers arrived, they broke into Benā€™s house then they found Ben was died in his tub. After they went through all the evidences at the scene of the crime, they were pretty much sure that the killer must be someone who knew Ben well due to the fact that there was no break-in and the killer should have a key. Plus, officers found out that Mr. Ben has inherited a fortune from his parents recently which probably could be the reason that he got killed and whoever knew this would be suspects. Finally, the officers came to a conclusion that the criminal would be someone lived within this complex, although some residents nearby might had disagreements while the majority of committees agreed with it.
