An insane murderer's escape!
On morning of 20th March, the prison cell of a convicted murderer, Alice Liddell was found empty. Citizens in possession of information regarding her whereabouts are urged to report their findings to the nearest police station.
Alice Liddell, age 19, also called the "Fire Girl". Had, after her recent murder of Dr. Angus Bumby, been convicted to a life sentence in Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum. The convict has been diagnosed with lunacy, pyromania and violent tendencies. Many witnesses have also supplied a statement of reoccurring hallucinations and suicide attempts.
On 23rd February, an incident in the London Underground had occurred, a raving Liddell had entered the station and after accusing late Dr. Bumby of abuse and murder of her long deceased sister. Had, in eyes of 79 witnesses, pushed her victim under the approaching train, which was to deliver his new patient.
The incident has caused an uproar in the circles of British Medical Association and among ordinary London citizens. As Alice Liddell is known to have been released from Rutledge Asylum not a year ago, with a guarantee of her posing no threat to society. After this murder however, qualifications of Rutledge alienists and the grounds for which its superintendent remains in his position are put to question. The Association has posed a request for discharge of the asylum's doctor Heironymous Q. Wilson, who was responsible for Liddell's treatment. The statement contains a complaint against "(...) a gruesome incompetency which had allowed a dangerous lunatic to leave the facility's grounds."
The lunatic in question had been admitted to confinement in Rutledge after a fire broke out in her home at the age of 8. Where she had stayed for the next 10 years, after which Dr. Bumby provided her with a job and a place to stay at the Houndsditch Home for Wayward Youth, where she stayed until recently and had been undergoing further therapy with the help of her victim and benefactor.
After committing the crime, Liddell had not attempted to resist her arrest, and following a medical examination, had been court sentenced for a life long treatment in Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum, as she had been judged unfit for living in society and a danger to herself as well as her surroundings. The judge finds a relapse highly likely to happen in the future.
On 20th March, her cell was found empty, and after a through search she was found to be missing from the grounds of the facility. It is unknown how she escaped and who helped her, but an investigation is already undergoing and a wide-ranging search for the fugitive is being commenced. The police urges anyone who has seen this dangerous criminal to report his findings to the nearest police station. In the interests of citizens' safety, police also advices not to approach Liddell, as she is likely to be violent and poses danger to her surroundings.
