Luxury stable owner Mirko Falkenroth is found hung in his barn, a staged suicide covering up poisoning. Clients considered him Mirko his own major con, arrogant and domineering, gross abusive to staff, especially simpleton ex petty con stable hand Sascha Grollig, whom he recently horse-whipped a scar in the face. Fresh widow Tanja claims she was happy with him, except for debt, until the recent decease of her champion favorite horse, comforted by her cancer-incurable sister Greta Wiese, the stud farm's blacksmith. Veterinarian Dr. Bernd Kranz may have been blackmailed with expensive cures and possible diagnoses falsification for sale, and provided the OD-fatal equine sedative, but can explain a lot. A security camera hidden in the stable provides crucial evidence.
