"Sherlock Holmes," Detective Inspector Dimmock began as a police constable patted Sherlock down for weapons, "I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of James Moriarty. You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something you later rely on in court."

VIOLET HUNTER'S
EX-BOYFRIEND MURDERED!

In a shocking addition to Friday night's Tunbridge Wells shooting tragedy, Greater Manchester Police have revealed the identity of the Manchester businessman who was gunned down in an inner-city nightclub on the same day.

Dan Corlionne, most recently linked with Improbity actress Violet Hunter, was found to be the first victim of escaped organised crime figure and convicted murderer, Sebastian Moran. Moran was facing life imprisonment for the execution-style murders of Ronald Adair and John Douglas.

It is speculated that Sebastian Moran was conducting a series of revenge killings possibly directed at Sherlock Holmes, a London-based Consulting Detective and Violet Hunter's on-again, off-again boyfriend.

Holmes was released on bail yesterday and is due in court next Monday for a preliminary hearing regarding charges for the murder of James Moriarty, a Hollywood studio executive who had been under arrest by the FBI on charges of sex trafficking. It is not known how Sebastian Moran and James Moriarty were connected.

The private funeral for Dan Corlionne will be held at St Aidan's Church, Northern Moor, Manchester. It is not known whether Violet Hunter will be in attendance.

VIOLET SEEN AT HOSPITAL
VISITING CRIME BOSS

Violet Hunter was reportedly spotted entering King's College Hospital on Wednesday where organised crime figure Jacob Venucci is being treated for a gunshot wound to the head following the tragic multiple shooting incident in Tunbridge Wells last week. Reports have surfaced that the Rise of the Five star secretly visited the Manchester businessman just days before her boyfriend, super-sleuth Sherlock Holmes, faces homicide charges for the shooting of an Irish national during the same incident that left four people dead and Jacob Venucci wounded.

Speculation is rife as to why Sebastian Moran, a notorious organised crime figure from Manchester, who escaped custody, teamed up with an Irish national wanted by the FBI. Both men, along with Jacob Venucci, descended on the country house in the conservative borough of Kent, which was being rented for the weekend by the actress and her detective boyfriend.

Reps for Violet Hunter declined to comment.

HEARING POSTPONED!
NEW EVIDENCE IN SHERLOCK
HOLMES COURT CASE

The Crown Prosecution Service have called for a delay in proceedings after new evidence came to light during investigations into the Tunbridge Wells shooting of Irish national and Hollywood studio executive, James Moriarty. Celebrity freelance private investigator Sherlock Holmes has been charged with the murder, but Kent Police have been liaising with the National Crime Agency and have requested an additional week to analyse the new information.

James Moriarty was on trial in the United States after being arrested by the FBI for organising the supply of American models to wealthy businessmen in the United Arab Emirates for the purposes of sex. Moriarty escaped custody in the U.S., allegedly conspiring with Manchester organised crime figures Sebastian Moran and Jacob Venucci to assassinate Sherlock Holmes and possibly his actress girlfriend Violet Hunter.

James Moriarty was an executive at Etienne-Lumiere studios, the production company behind Anuket's Children: The Rise of the Five, the blockbuster which launched the former Regency Road starlet into the international arena.

In a series of events that could be mistaken for a plot in a Larssen Jenkins movie, Manchester businessman and known crime boss Jacob Venucci was alleged to have facilitated the escape from HMP Manchester, formerly Strangeways Prison, of Sebastian Moran on the morning of Friday the 11th of April. The criminal gang along with James Moriarty allegedly executed nightclub owner and former boyfriend of Violet Hunter, Daniel Corlionne. The group then made their way to Doe Park Farmhouse, in Tunbridge Wells, where their alleged attempt to assassinate Holmes and Hunter failed, resulting in the deaths of Sebastian Moran, James Moriarty, Kevin McNally and farmhouse owner Cecil Robbins.

Jacob Venucci is currently in a critical condition in King's College Hospital after being placed under a medically-induced coma following gunshot wounds to the head.

The new date for the preliminary hearing has not been set.

VIOLET HUNTER
LINKED TO ORGANISED CRIME

Violet Hunter had a torrid affair with Jacob Venucci, an anonymous source has revealed exclusively to Celebrats. The source, who cannot be identified for fear of repercussions, has named Violet Hunter as one of Jacob "Jake" Venucci's girlfriends whom he dated then later lived with following their introduction at the opening of Kabuki Pirates nightclub in Manchester in 2010. In a cruel twist of fate, this was the same club where Dan Corlionne, Violet's ex-boyfriend was gunned down in an execution-style shooting.

Violet Hunter reportedly visited her ex-lover in hospital last week following the country farmhouse shooting which has her current beau, Sherlock Holmes, up on a charge of murder.

Jacob Venucci's estranged wife, Monica Venucci, was unavailable for comment, but it was confirmed she has visited Venucci's bedside several times.

Jacob Venucci remains in an induced coma.

FAIRY TALE WEDDING RUINED!

[ PHOTO CAPTION ] Beccy Thomas surrounded by 200 packets of marshmallows which were to form the basis of floral arrangements made entirely out of sweets for her wedding reception.

Beccy Thomas, 23, had always dreamed of a fairy tale wedding in the countryside. The Instagram influencer's posts from the last month tell how tirelessly her father, step-mum and step-sister had been working to prepare for the event, which was to take place at the Tunbridge Wells country retreat, Doe Park Farmhouse last week.

"It wasn't just the fact that our wedding venue was ruined by a mass murder," Ms Thomas said. "Our groomsmen were looking forward to hunting on the morning of. What now?"

Ms Thomas has been touched by the support of her Instagram followers.

"We're brainstorming a Plan B. Someone suggested a Murder Mystery themed wedding, but I don't like red. It clashes with my hair. Besides, what am I going to do with all these marshmallows?"

Doe Park Farmhouse is the setting of one of the worst crimes in Kent's history. The couple have postponed their spring wedding and have urged family and friends to rally around and donate to their GoFundMe page so they can host a bigger, better, and safer wedding in June.

"One with security," Beccy added. "And those metal detector things they have at airports and American highschools. You never know what might happen!"

VIOLET HUNTER'S SHOCK DOUBLE LIFE

Reports have surfaced that the actress once lived with Jacob Venucci, the Manchester organised crime figure who masterminded the prison escape of mob boss Sebastian Moran. Our source, formerly a barmaid at an exclusive private bar in Kabuki Pirates, says the then unknown actress was seen frequently in the club on the arm of club owner Jacob Venucci.

"I think she was a nobody then, not an actress, probably a model or something, but definitely a party girl," our source said.

In a surprising twist, it has been discovered that Dan Corlionne, Hunter's most recent ex-boyfriend who was murdered by Venucci's co-conspirator, Sebastian Moran, had worked for Jacob Venucci "for years" confirms another source. "Violet Hunter knew Dan Corlionne through Jake Venucci. Danny was Jake's number one."

ITALIAN ART ROBBERY CASE
USING SKYPE

Italian State Police were baffled over the disappearance of two paintings by Trevisani from the Corsini Gallery in Rome this week. They called on the services of the London-based Consulting Detective. Sherlock Holmes is currently awaiting trial for the murder of James Moriarty, and it is the condition of Holmes's bail that he remain in the United Kingdom.

Using Skype and the services of an Italian translator, Holmes was able to locate the stolen artwork and led Italian Police to the identity of the art thieves.

Two security guards from the Palazzo Corsini were arrested this morning.

VIOLET DROPPED FROM
ANUKET'S CHILDREN SEQUEL

Etienne-Lumiere Studios announced today the cast for part three of the Anuket's Children franchise, The Legend of Horus. Hollywood hunks Joseph Irkhardt, Bradley Tessi, Heath Camblin, and Ethan Helgesen will reprise their roles of Apis, Kephri, Sobek and Khonsu respectively, while British actor Timothy Killaney will once again return as the villain, Apophis.

The producers have hinted at a love interest for Apis, possibly played by UK actress Andrea Fabenaski who is currently filming Scarlett's Fables here in London. As the sequel doesn't feature the character of Satis, Violet Hunter will not be returning to the Anuket's Children set.

Fans of the franchise have taken up on social media to protest the decision. Cal Staab, administrator of the fan website, anuketreborn. net, and an expert of the original comic book series, says "the decision writers have taken with the plot is sacrilegious and ludicrous. Satis is in all of the comics, volumes 2 to 12. There is no Anuket's Children without Satis. They don't know what they're messing with."

Max Burnott will return as the director of The Legend of Horus. Filming is expected to commence in autumn, and possibly shot in New Zealand.

PREMIERE

A failed hit by a Manchester gangster might be a mood killer for some, but Violet Hunter was all smiles, posing for photographers and rubbing shoulders with co-stars and other big names in the business at the premiere of her long-anticipated steamy thriller Improbity last night. And there's no better way to accessorise than with your own number one murder suspect on your arm! Sherlock Holmes looked fab in his standard Trevor & Vernet tuxedo, which caused many of us here at LowFatIcecream to speculate whether or not he was "carrying".

The pair confidently strolled the red carpet holding hands, but declined interviews and requests for autographs.

Sherlock, however, acknowledged fans holding "Sherlock is Innocent!" banners. With those killer cheekbones, the LowFatIcecream team think he's anything but innocent!

SHERLOCK HOLMES'S
COURT DATE SET

The Crown Prosecution Service has confirmed Monday 5th May as the new date for the preliminary hearing which will see celebrity sleuth Sherlock Holmes answer to charges of murder.

TUNBRIDGE WELLS
GANGSTER HIT MAN DIES

Jacob Venucci, the Manchester gangster who masterminded the prison escape of organised crime boss Sebastian Moran, has died from complications arising from a gunshot wound to the head. The businessman and nightclub owner was one of five men who allegedly descended on a country farmhouse in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, in order to carry out an execution of London amateur detective Sherlock Holmes. Holmes was spending the weekend at the house with his girlfriend, actress Violet Hunter. The failed murder plot left four dead, while Jacob Venucci sustained a life-threatening gunshot wound to the head.

Venucci was stabilised at Tunbridge Wells Hospital before being moved by air ambulance to King's College Hospital. Doctors placed him under a medically-induced coma, performing emergency surgery to remove skull fragments.

He has remained on life support for the last two weeks, but failed to respond to stimuli indicating severe brain injury. His wife Monica Venucci gave her consent to remove him from life support. Venucci died in the early hours of Tuesday morning with his wife by his bedside.

Venucci had previously been linked to the Rise of the Five actress and a string of organised crime hits in and around Manchester. Violet Hunter's reps have offered no comment.
