Hurt/Heal: Murder On The Orient Express Edition

This type of game is quite popular but in case you haven't played it before, here is a quick rundown below:

There are thirteen suspects, each of them have 10 points of health. Every 'hurt' chips off 1 point and every 'heal' adds 1 point.

Each time you post (try to avoid double posting if possible) you have a chance to hurt a character whilst healing another.

E.g. Hurt Mary, Heal Greta. (after which you will repost the list with the updated figures)

The remaining suspect at the end of the game gets away with his life but, invariably, reveals himself as the killer.

This is your chance to help your favourite characters and hinder your least favourite ones to, ultimately, change the fate of the story and reveal the remaining killer.

This game is not intended to spoil the story for anyone; thus, the characters will only have very brief descriptions to help you take your decisions easier or to serve as a refresher. Please be mindful of that when you are making comments.

Background:

Upon receiving the telegram that summons him to London, Hercule Poirot decides to avoid the upcoming snowdrift and prolong his stay in Stamboul, thus missing the Orient Express that was leaving that night.

The train gets caught in thick snow and is forced to stop. Meanwhile, Ratchett is found dead and the thirteen suspects find themselves trapped, with a killer in their numbers.

Suspects:

Count Andrenyi (Diplomat) - 10
Countess Andrenyi (Count's Wife) - 10
Colonel Arbuthnot (Army Officer) - 10
Mr. Beddoes (Ratchett's Valet) - 10
