Love versus Justice

Chapter 4 - Early Discovery

    Back in the city:

    Laila can’t believe her eyes. The picture of the victim in the new case given by Mandy for research is no other than the Vice-President her father always admired when she was young. She was a teenager then when her father used to buy wallpapers of Vice-President Morris Parker and put in on the walls of his room. Yes, she cannot be mistaken about the identity of this man.

    She used to admire him, too. In fact, she has done a little research about him back then. He was an admirable statesman who did not only care about the votes he will be getting from the constituents, rather, he cared for the next generation. He has funded activities for the youth because he believed that they are the hope of the nation as future leaders. He was a man that everybody loves.

    He could have taken the seat of the President if his tragic death did not precede the election. He has been leading in the polls and even won the position. However, just before he was declared as the winner, he was murdered together with his family. After that, news about him and his family has been wiped out entirely from the newspapers and internet. However, she was not innocent about the fact that at the night of the murder, Vice-President Parker’s daughter’s body was missing.

    Laila shivered at the thought of the events that transpired in Vice-President Parker’s life. Surely, this case that Mandy just accepted is not an ordinary one. It is controversial.

    With trembling hands, Laila flipped the pages of the case file. The first set of documents seem normal types of evidence. Laila took notes of them. Upon digging though, she realized that there seems to be missing pages on the file. Some files don’t seem to be related with each other. Also, the evidence consists of almost newspaper clippings. She is sure that Mandy would reject such type of evidence. Mandy has specifically told her before that newspaper clippings are weak as evidence as they are not based on the personal knowledge of the person writing them.

    After skimming through some pages, Laila decided to take a break as her brain is turning numb. When she was about to stand up though, her eyes was caught by something on the file. She put her hand to uncover a picture. The person on the picture is another shock to her. She knows the woman on the picture. Yes, she is the famous reporter of XRN News, Miss Clara Kaspersqy.

    Clara Kaspersqy is another tragedy. Weeks after covering the news about the death of Vice-President Morris Parker, his family, some maids and security guards, she herself met an untimely death. She was murdered on her way to a site in order to cover an event for XRN News. She was not only murdered though, she was r***d. However, the man that did that to her is more of a beast than a human being. Why so? He r***d not with his own organs but by inserting liquor bottles on Clara’s private part!
