GRUESOME MURDERERS MESSAGE FOR THE CITY
The body of a local man has been found, a victim of a gruesome murderer who left a message for those who found the body. 23 year old Darron Hamilton was found in an alleyway near the corner of Gregory and Parsons Road, shirtless with an injury to his temple that police are ruling an incapacitating blow. Hamilton’s chest had been mutilated into the shape of a rose while his throat had received a single shallow cut. His wrists had also been slit, leading police to rule the ultimate cause of death as blood loss. Above his body the killer had painted a message on the wall of the alleyway in the victim’s own blood that read “LONG LIVE THE KING”. It is suspected that this is in relation to the death of the notorious Jackson Rollack, known by many as Kingpin for his suspected but never proven criminal dealings within the city. The police currently have no leads, however they do suspect that associates of Mr Rollack may have ordered the killing, however no specific names have been mentioned and police are imploring witnesses of the crime to come forward and give any information they may have that would lead to the arrest of the killer. Police would not comment on if they thought the killer may act again, nor on the state of the investigation in the estate of Mr Rollack.
OMNIDYNE TARGETED BY TERRORIST
Several omnidyne warehouses have been attacked this month by a parahuman whose goal seemed to be destruction of Omnidyne property and infrastructure. The attacker was seen to have used an unknown power to throw two several ton containers of industrial solvents from the back of a delivery truck into the wall of the central Pinpoint Manufacturing plant, causing a chemical fire which killed several employees and injured security, the corrosive fumes also hospitalising three firefighters who responded to the event. The attacker is also suspected to have sabotaged a container truck on the Thyme Street highway on-ramp in Bloomview, causing the containers to fall from the bed of the truck and for the driver to lose control and vault over the median. Six people are now in critical condition at the Bloomview Madison Hospital after the ensuing traffic accident, with one confirmed dead at the scene. Another attack on a delivery van in Central has been attributed to the terrorist which damaged the front of an urban clothing store after the tires of the vehicle were detonated, sending the pan through a streetlamp and into the building. The driver has been hospitalised but no other injuries were suffered as the store was largely empty at the time. Omnidyne security have described the attacker to police as male and of tall build, wearing a black hoodie and running shoes along with grey track pants with unconfirmed but suspected telekinetic abilities. Police suspect that blood at the scene of the attack on Pinpoint Manufacturing may be linked to the attacker, who was confirmed to have been shot before making an escape after flipping a security vehicle pursuing him. Investigation into the matter is ongoing with Omnidyne co-operating with the police to aid in finding the attacker.
THE DEADLY DEMOGORGON STEALS THE ARKAI DIAMOND
The Deadly Demogorgon has struck the Museum of Magical History, stealing the Arkai Diamond. In the middle of the night, the diamond simply disappeared, replaced with a note with a riddle. Police are baffled by the crime, with sources indicating that there is no signs of any intrusion, and that IPA experts exploring more esoteric options also have no clue how the Deadly Demogorgon did it.
The Arkai Diamond was a generous donation to the Museum of Magical History from Marianne of the Ashes, and has a long history as part of many magical traditions. While not magical in itself, it is a cultural artefact and great significance in the magical community, and the loss has struck a blow in the spirits of a community who take pride in their vibrant history.
The Deadly Demogorgon, who stole the diamond, has a long history of crime. He has been arrested multiple times for involvement in a long list of crimes, but has somehow never been convicted - despite reports that he was later seen bragging about the crime. Manhattan Detective Ellen Powell said that ‘while the Deadly Demogorgon may appear to be an egotistical blowhard, everyone should be careful. He has been suspected in an array of serious crimes, and should not be underestimated’
