Even though Raskolnikovs name has still never been brought up as a possible suspect for the murder of Alyona and Lizaveta, Raskolnikovs guilt continues to impact his health heavily. Hallucinations were now occurring more frequently, and Raskolnikovs body grew so weak to the point that he passed out and remained unconscious for about four days. This causes his friends Razumkhin and Nastasya to worry. They both decide to stay with him for a while to make sure that he is ok, but Raskolnikov hates their presence at his house.
The only person taken in as a suspect right now is a painter that works on the same building that Alyona lived in. It may seem evident that he is the murder since he was also found with the earrings that Rasklnikov stole from Alyonas apartment, but then dropped onto the street. The painter seems very nervous and guilty throughout the whole chapter, especially when they question him. This makes the whole situation worse for him because it makes him look guilty and gives off more evidence, which is something that the police and others are desperately seeking for since no clues were left behind from the murder. I don't understand why the painter would act this way, especially since we know Raskolnikov was the murderer. Maybe he's getting nervous because they are charging him with the murder of someone which is a huge deal obviously but he should be able to act up and defend himself. This also leads me to think why no one would suspect of Raskolnikov as the murderer. Raskolnikov even openly admitted to wanting to murder Alyona before he did in front of a couple of people, and now every time the murder is brought up he either freaks out and blurts out random things or turns pale and passes out.
