First: there is no mail on Sunday in most places. Some packages still run, but letters and the like do not come on Sunday. The wife is the one who is arrested.

Fun fact: this would be considered a crime of passion. While there are few details given, it can be inferred that it was bloody. From the story the wife told, it seems as though she didn’t have a chance to get her story straight. Often, when someone is found the next day, and the person who committed the murder is still there, it is hard for them to get a story together.

However, if this is in a place where mail does run on Sunday: how does she know all of this if she was asleep when her husband was murdered?
