Family Found Dead in Northern Ireland Community
Early Thursday morning, a household of four was reportedly found slain in their Northern Ireland residence by a visiting family friend. The sleepy Wizarding village outside of County Londonderry has been transformed into something of a crime scene, and its once peaceful atmosphere flipped upside down. Sources tell us no unusual disturbances were accounted prior to the tragic incident. There were no signs of forcible entry on the premises and the neighbours surrounding the middle-class home reported nothing out of the ordinary.Investigators suspect these brutal and senseless murders may have been motivated by the increasing anti-pure-blood sentiments among such groups as those involved with the attacks in Diagon Alley at the start of the summer. The Ministry is taking these recent occurrences very seriously and will be working tirelessly to bring whomever is involved to justice. The investigation is ongoing, with sparse developments, and the identities of the culprits have not yet been finalised.
