325.07 // Commission into Industry Corruption

Coruscant-RepublicExecutiveBuilding

Today the Republic Senate announced a commission into core-world based companies. The move was prompted by fresh allegations regarding the super-profit corporation, Agos Co, whom has been caught out attempting to influence the votes of senators, through illicit means. The Senate membership was originally meant to vote on a bill that proposes sanctions on the purchase of public assets by Agos Co, but that has been delayed so that the commission can go ahead.

Agos Co has for, some time now, been trying desperately to purchase public assets from the Republic, allowing them control over water supply to over six systems. However, they denied all proposed regulations making them targets from Senate factions. Among the most outspoken of these senators, Airen Warren, spoke to media today about the commission; “We have fought so hard for this. It has been long overdue and I will make every effort to ensure that this commission is conducted properly”.

Senator Rita Sandria, another outspoken Senate representative in favour of the sanctions on Agos Co, was unable to speak to media as she faces allegations regarding improper conduct in a Coruscant detention centre. Although there has been no charges laid against her at this stage, her staff professed her innocence before denying to comment further.

Public opinion has rallied against Agos Co, as the suspicious death of three senators, who stood alongside Senator Warren and Sandria, has left many wondering if the company was responsible.

325.04 // Core Killer Caught!

Coruscant’s Security Force have solved the “Killer in the Core” case, subsiding fears of the serial killer in the quiet yet aristocratic suburb in sector 0023.

Security were seen with renown Jedi Investigator, Jao Ryn, who earlier today left the “Tatooine Suns Condominiums and Spa” with alleged serial killer who has been identified as Xen Kedrim.

Chief Locier said at a press conference that ‘they were able to identify the serial killer as Xen Kedrim due to Master Ryn’s ability to scrutinize evidence with a sharp mind and flare of the Force.’

Xen Kedrim, 62, has a history of domestic abuse, specifically beating his wife to death under the accusation that his wife cheated on him with a member of the law enforcement.

When security stormed into the condominium, law enforcement, with the aid of Ryn, were able to find an unlicensed blaster that the security force have evidence to believe to be the murder weapon.

Xen Kedrim has been arrested for first-degree murder. He is currently awaiting trial with the foreboding judgement of possible death.

Until then, the Galaxy will be holding its breath as we wait for the most anticipated trial of the decade to ensue.

325.01 // Killer in the Core

A serial killer is on the loose, blasting down spouses of respected law enforcement figures on doorsteps, say security forces on the capital world of Coruscant.

Residents in the higher levels of Coruscant, in the wealthy section 0023, were warned today as new evidence linking several murders emerges.

Law enforcement announced yesterday, the death of Kiro Kem, who was found dead with lethal blaster burns, is being investigated in connection with two other unsolved murders that took place in similar circumstances just blocks from each other. Kem’s wife, a venerable officer on the security force, refused to comment.

Security Chief Kenvar Locier said at a press conference that they suspect Kem’s killer was also responsible for the murder of Vanara Lox (last year) and Syelk Cerso (two cycles ago).

Ballistics results for the murders confirm common impact zones and blaster residue for the three cases. However, Locier wouldn’t say for certain whether the same weapon was used in all three shootings.

‘The cases appear to be linked, but until we have evidence to point to only one suspect, we will investigate all possibilities,’ Locier said.

All three murders took place at the same time of day after the victims presented themselves at the front door.

Law enforcement officers are currently looking for an older, humanoid man.

No motive has been established for any of the killings, which law enforcement officers fear may spark chaos in the community. Locier said this afternoon that residents should be vigilant and should avoid answering their door for strangers, but warned that no-one overreact. So far, residents have taken the warning relatively well.

There have been rumors that the security force may seek Jedi aid; however, no validation to such a claim has been made as of yet.
