Is Mark better than Sherlock Holmes?


You call Mark:

A robber has been hard at work in the lower east side. However, the local police have not let the trail go cold and have identified four suspects, one of whom has fled the scene and is not available for interview. The other three are interviewed by Mark. Each one interviewed makes two true statements and one false statement, as follows:

Aphinan says:
1. I am not the robber.
2. Deuan has no alibi.
3. Deuan has gone into hiding.

Bua says:
1. Aphinan's first statement is true.
2. Aphinan's third statement is false.
3. Deuan is not the robber.

Choom says:
1. I am not the robber.
2. Deuan has an alibi.
3. Bua's second statement is false.


Do these answers allow Mark to identify the robber
