Event in which the murders end badly (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
hundred metres
'event' is the definition.
(athletics event)
'the murders end badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' is an anagram indicator.
'the'+'murders'+'end'='themurdersend'
'themurdersend' anagrammed gives 'HUNDRED METRES'.
'in which' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
