He caught Malaria? He crashed his car whilst whilst the insect was bothering him at the wheel? (or similar?) Is it a more elaborate scenario than the pervious suggestions? A string of events initiated by an incident with a mosquitoe? | ||

Was he deliberately murdered? poisoned? killed in some sort of violent impact? did the killer knowingly employ the use of the mosquito? Is the man's age relevant? if so is he over 20? 30? 40? 50? 60? 70? older? Had he an allergy? anything to do with donating blood? blood transfusions? had the man any pre-existing medical complaint or disability that's relevant? | ||

Just to clarify was he murdered? Was the man aware of the mosquito? had it bitten him? did he in some way interact with the mosquito that acted as a motive for his murder? Did he discover something about the mosquito? a secret expirement? was he killed to silence him? | ||

Wondering about the FA when you were asked about murder. Was he killed by another human being? Or by a non-human animal? Perhaps the mosquito bit a nearby rottweiler who then got peeved and bit him to death? Or perhaps it was a case of manslaughter? | ||

So another person was bitten by a mozzie, and killed our hero? Was the other person driving a car? Was the other person operating some sort of machinery? Was the other person trying to swat the mozzie? | ||

The mosquito bit a rat, then got rabies from it's blood, then bit a dog and it transfered rabies and the dog bit the guy and the guy died of rabies? That was one long sentance... | ||

Did the victim accidently swat someone else while trying to kill the mozzie and the person reacted by killing him? | ||

Did the victim accidently swat someone else while trying to kill the mozzie and the person reacted by killing him? I think that's close enough for a SPOILER This is a true story in the news recently in an Asian country. A man slapped an acquaintance about a bout of drinking, claiming that he was swatting a mosquito on the sleeping man's face. The man woke up furious, and called a few "brothers" to beat up the swatter. The police came and found that the "brothers" were in possession of firearms at the time. I kind of embellished it a little to have the swatter die in the puzzle. Good job to Peter365. Thanks for playing this quickie. | ||

Nice puzzle. All credit to Woodworm for coming up with the swatting idea. |
