He must have let his killer in. Police must investigate to find out what instrument was used to kill him. And what finger prints or hand marks or shoe marks were left in the room and outside by the killer.

Have you contacted them with your suggestions? Their forensics experts probably haven't thought of investigating such obscure clues.
