After the death of King Laius, the arrival of the sphinx puts a halt to the investigation of Laius' death, because the people are too busy trying to be rid the city of the terrible beast.

PS. ~ The only reason that they ever went back to focusing on Laius' death was because Oedipus had saved them from the sphinx and brought the subject to light again.
That Laius was his father and he killed him, and married his mother Jocasta.
That Laius' death place is the same as the place where Oedipus leaves five people dead and that he therefore may be a suspect is Oedipus' first anagnorisis in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus heads an investigation into the long unsolved murder of King Laius. He looks for clues. He listens to the account of Queen Jocasta, his wife and Laius' widow. He realizes that Laius dies in the same place and about the same time as when and where Oedipus kills an older version of himself and four of his five companions.
It is after Oedipus asks for details of Laius' death that the messenger tells Oedipus of his father's death in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus finds out that he must solve King Laius' murder in order for the pestilence to end in Thebes. He looks for information from Queen Jocasta, his wife and Laius' widow. Jocasta provides details on the where, when and how of Laius' death. These details in the first half of the play raise questions that begin to be answered in the second half. For example, the Corinthian messenger supplies information about the death of Corinthian King Polybus, Oedipus' presumed father.
That it is the work of thugs hired by Laius' enemies in Thebes is the theory that Oedipus immediately develops about Laius' death in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus has to find and punish the guilty in King Laius' murder. He hears what his brother-in-law and royal colleague Creon has to say. Creon identifies robbers on the basis of the sole surviving eyewitness to Laius' murder. Oedipus observes that money from Laius' enemies in Thebes is behind the crime and that the same can happen to him as current king of Thebes.
That he does not know who he is or what he will find outis the reason why Oedipus continues his investigation against his wife's wishes in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus has to find and punish the guilty in King Laius' murder. In the course of his investigation, he is accused by Teiresias the blind prophet of being Laius' murder. Oedipus pursues every bit of information because he does not know who his biological parents are and who Laius' killer is. He seeks information about the former because of his prophesied fate as his father's killer and his mother's husband. He seeks the latter information in order to clear his name and end the pestilence in Thebes.

he killed him
It is to Oedipus' extreme reaction to Laius' crime scenethat Jocasta refers when she asks him the meaning of his averted glance and shuddering in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus heads an investigation into the murder of his royal predecessor, King Laius. He gathers information from his wife, Queen Jocasta, who is Laius' widow. Oedipus becomes agitated when he hears about Laius' death place and then about Laius' appearance.

a stroke
Robbers are supposedly guilty for Laius' death in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus has to find the guilty in King Laius' death in order to end the pestilence in Thebes. He looks to the chorus, his brother-in-law Creon, his wife Queen Jocasta and Teiresias the blind prophet for help. Creon and Jocasta say that robbers are rumored to be the guilty party.
That would be an Inquest.
