MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS CONTINUES TO KILL CRIMINALS
AS THE DEATH TOLL REACHES NINETY THOUSAND

With the crime rate declining by 60%, the emotion everyone should have is one of rejoice.
Unfortunately, that is not the case and the emotion that has currently been adopted is one of fear.
The string of mysterious heart attacks has been happening all over the globe but has mainly focused on Los Angeles.

Los Angeles' streets used to be crawling with crime such as vandalism and muggings.
The citizens of LA were afraid to leave their homes in terror of being targeted by violent thugs whom had nothing better to do but roam the streets at night.
Now though, the people of LA are afraid, even in their own homes, as more die of heart attacks.

First of all it was the worst criminals being eradicated.
Murderers and rapists clutching their chests as they fell to the floor, their evil smirk erased from their faces.
Everyone began to feel safer and more secure about the place they lived in.
But now people who commit petty crimes, and even suspects who have yet to be found guilty of any wrong doing, are dying - the autopsies reporting the deaths to be the same.

The most recent death was reported last night.
A man named Lucas Sandfield was on trial for the murder of his two daughters.
There was evidence against him and two witnesses but the defence attorney, Apollo Justice, managed to prove that it was possible that Sandfield was indeed innocent.
The Judge said that the trial would continue the next day but unfortunately as Sandfield came out of the trial, his face full of grief over his two daughters' deaths, Sandfield clutched his chest in pain before dying at the bottom of the steps leading to the court house.
Even without the autopsy report everyone knew that another heart attack had occurred.
When the police checked over the crime scene during the trial they found evidence that showed Sanfield could not have committed the crime, but a person unknown at the moment.

Not only is everyone scared but officials are starting to lose their jobs.
Without any crimes to solve, detectives are being made redundant, defence attorneys having to resort to other jobs such as catering.
We spoke to one of the best prosecutors in this country, Klavier Gavin, to ask his opinion on the current situation.
He told us, "Achtung baby, there is no need to worry, detectives all over the world are looking into this mess."
When we asked how successful his band was now, he responded, "That has nothing to do with these incidents, I will also lose my job if it isn't solved!"

'KIRA' STRIKES AGAIN AS DEATH TOLL REACHES
ONE MILLION WORLD WIDE

Criminals are dying of 'hearts attacks' but some people believe it is a lot more than that - especially LA officials. Some people believe it is actually an international murder by a person dubbed as 'Kira', Japanese for 'killer'.

In Japan, 'Kira' killed criminals.
His followers believed that God had sent him to bring judgement upon Earth, that people who would commit crimes deserved to die and to bring forward a new world, free of evil.
In one incident though, officers who opposed 'Kira' died as soon as they spoke against him/her.
'Kira' seems to be an individual who has strong beliefs of justice but some may say that his methods are too severe.

The main detective who led the 'Kira case', a man known only as 'L', had suspected a school boy, Light Yagami.
'L' believed that Light had the power to determine how the person died or, if he didn't choose a specific type of death, the victim would simply die of a heart attack.
'L' also believed that Light could determine the time of death and the specific details of how the death was carried out.
There was never any evidence of L's investigation and 'L' remained in the shadows so we were unable to get his opinion.
Light Yagami also suffered the fate of a heart attack, so police reports say.

If Light really was 'Kira' maybe he passed on his powers to another individual.
Maybe an individual in the Los Angeles area, which now seems to be under attack, has obtained the power the way Light had.
Maybe these heart attacks are just God punishing humans for destroying his creations.
No matter what it is, everyone should tread carefully and walk the other way when witnessing crimes.
