Black to move and mate in 3.
NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
Interested in learning? Try THIS.
QxR-KxQ forced
B-d4-K-e2 forced
R-f2 mate!
d3 is covered by the pawn.
Qxf2+, Kxf2
Bd4+, Ke2
Rf2#
Both pestlover and amenamen fail to consider:
2. . . . . . B×d4
Or

Waalaw, as I noted, K-e2 is forced. Your suggestions would be excellent alternatives except that they’re illegal. This is because taking the bishop does not get the king completely out of check.
I overlooked the double check in pestlover’s and amenamen’s solutions.
As I age, I keep getting more human.
