Can two or more evidences belong to the same suspect? or each evidence will ALWAYS belong to a different suspect?

If you are refering to physical evidence, then I can say I have never seen a case with two physical pointing to the same person.
But, in hard cases, there are two witnesses pointing to the same person.

Exactly. In the hard case, you usually narrow it down to two main people with the physical evidence, and after that question the suspects about these people, and you'll usually soon have enough evidence to point the way.

Counting both physical and verbal evidence together, there will ALWAYS be at least two pieces of evidence pointing to the killer - verbal alone is at least two.

I believe also innocent suspects can have more than one piece of evidence pointing towards them. They will of course have a valid alibi, though.

I see. So in conclusion, each physical evidence should only point to one suspect (eg. hair, footprint, thread, and threatening note), correct?

I don't really know this for a fact, but I can say that this has been my experience so far.

I once had a case in which the guilty suspect had left a print, a thread and a note... that was pretty easy to solve

Hurmph! Up at the Yard, we rountinely endeavor to account for All of the evidence. But, just the mark of the "true professional", I suppose...
