The Headless Killer(s) strikes again!
This early morning, police have been called yet again. This time, the small town of Xyrlen in Northern Vrigny has been struck by the same circumstances as Veryn and Karien. The town, surrounded by what little remains of Vrigny’s Northern Rainforests has had many of its houses broken into again, and so far, 8 bodies have been found, once again, with their heads missing.
This number of victims is only half of those found in the previous affected towns. So far, a total of 40 victims have been attributed to the same case. This amount is incredibly grim, as Vrigny had only seen a total of 18 murders on the last 10 years. The Vrignyan police only had the testimony and a very simple description from one child of an affected family, MJ.
Thankfully, this has now changed. It seems that the reason the town of Xyrlen didn’t have as many victims as other towns is due to the action of Joseph Birer. The lieutenant was awake during the time his home was raided, around 5:30 in the morning. He was the one who called the police, claiming he had been attacked. When the police arrived, 20 minutes later, the reason for his call was long gone by then. Joseph’s wife had bandaged pretty much the entire chest of the lieutenant, which had been gashed during a fight.
Joseph Birer stated that: “Two really tall men who looked very edgy broke into our home without setting the alarms and made their way into the study room, where they made the mistake of grabbing me instead of striking me with the huge axe the other guy was carrying. I was wearing my pocket knife, as usual, so I managed to stab the one who grabbed me. Those guys were professionals at fighting and all, it was a very tough battle, I think they only decided to run away since it was getting too late for their comfort. It must have been horrible to see them just before they chop your head off, they were wearing pitch black cloaks and robes, horns, a mask, and night vision goggles.”
With this confirmation by part of the lieutenant, it was now clearly known to the Vrignyan police that the Headless Killers were indeed two Killers. The police has also sent Joseph’s pocket knife, with one of the killer’s blood on its blade, to a laboratory. Hopefully with it, investigators will be able to get said killer’s genetic information, and it could prove crucial if it is already registered in the police’s database.
On another hand, with the lieutenant’s description of the killers, a protest has erupted in front of the GPV’s main party headquarters in Adleimen, accusing the governing party of a weak and slow management of the situation, leading to a slaughter. Protestors have also accused the Government of wanting to legalize the Zarkanxiz faith once again, in which these kind of “rituals” are mainstream, since the killers pretty much have been described as Zarkanxiz cultists, or some kind of satanists.
