Mendell City has awoken today to the scene of a mysterious crime: Rrhazumar Krasnov, a Democratic People's Republic migrant living in District Six since 2462, was found dead in his apartment. The body was discovered when a neighbor entered the flat after Rrhazumar did not answer a request to borrow some sugar. Krasnov's body was found lying on a puddle of blood on the living room's floor. Mendell City's police were called by the building manager. When the officers arrived at the apartment, they found a large crowd gathering before it. A symbol found inside the apartment was the cause of the commotion. Despite the agitation, the crime scene was undisturbed; there were no signs of a break-in and nothing was stolen. The neighbors claimed to have not heard anything strange. The victim was known to lead a secluded life and had no friends in the area. The locals claimed that the murder was carried out by the Bayonet Hand, a mythological killer who hunts down those who left Adhomai to escape the law. Coroners confirmed that the cause of the death was bleeding caused by a cut throat. The attack was likely carried out with a blade. Toxicology tests revealed that the victim consumed alcohol before his murder. Information on Rrhazumar Krasnov's origins and life was sparse; the Tajara arrived in Biesel as a migrant in 2462 and has been living in the same apartment since then. He held no formal employment and likely worked in odd jobs across the district. Rrhazumar has no family in the system. Mendell City police department is currently working to uncover the mystery behind this crime. The murder has quickly captured the attention of the extranet because of its unexplained events and connection to urban legends. Law enforcement representatives explained that criminals commonly make use of local superstition to scare the population; they cited the event of last year as an example. The Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai's embassy promised to collaborate in the investigation. развернуть Imperial Plaza Celebrates the Dholma Festival News Article Publisher : TAU CETI TIMES Writer : ALBERYK 16/10/2463 Little Adhomai celebrates the Dholma Festival.

The security department aboard the NSS Aurora quickly investigated the murder scene; they discovered a mark similar to the one found in Rrhazumar Krasnov's apartment. Autopsy on-site uncovered that the victim was killed with a bladed weapon. The forensics department was able to isolate fingerprints likely belonging to the criminal - however, no match was found in the Biesellite databases.

More clues come to light. Tau Ceti law enforcement has confirmed the seizure of a large contraband shipment yesterday aboard a corporate space station. The cargo came into the possession of the station's crew after the ship, a small civilian corvette, carrying it had to dock with the facility because of an emergency. A group of wounded and hungry refugees from the wildlands was present in the crew's compartment. The contraband was discovered after engineers were dispatched to repair the ship. Guns, nuclear waste containers, and barrels containing an unidentified acid were found in the ship's engine room. The origin and purpose of the shipment are currently unknown. The identification of the chemical was hindered because of heat damage caused by a fuel leak. However, specialists confirmed that the compound is some kind of industrial-grade acid. The nuclear waste that was found was likely the byproduct of a rustic nuclear fission technique. The pilot of the ship was found dead inside the locked cockpit. While the body had clear bullet wounds, coroners were unable to identify the cause of death due to the extensive damage caused by the fuel fire. Another passenger died in an unrelated chemical incident. The remaining survivors have been already interrogated and were given asylum by the government. Authorities are still searching for the ship's registry; they suspect that the smugglers likely registered it in the frontier. While extranet crime forums claim that the incident was linked to the Bayonet Hand's killings, Tau Ceti law agencies dismissed this hypothesis. Smuggling is becoming increasingly common in the wildlands and the reconstruction zone. Stellar Conglomerate's liaisons promised to continue working with the government to solve this security crisis.
