(Hint :The main hint here is that the lock can be closed without a key, so think about it and you will get the answer.)

The lock can be closed without a key.

When you were keeping the things inside the shed, the murderer took the lock hanging on the door and replaced it with an identical one.

You closed it as it did not require a key. When you were gone, the murderer opened the new lock with his key, planted the body inside, replaced the lock with the original one again and locked it.
