Senator Menipo Leontius
_______________________________________________
Today we receive terrible news from the city of Elwai, as Senator Menipo Leontius was murdered last night. The Senator, great-grandson of Consul Trachalio Leontius who served as Consul from 4737 to 4748, was attacked at around 11 PM. A witness, who refused to give their name in order to maintain privacy, says that when they were walking down the street, they saw a man approach Senator Leontius and pull a knife on him. After sharing just a few words, the man attacked Leontius, stabbing him repeatedly. The witness says that they immediately cried for help. They then approached the attacker and pushed him off the Senator. The attacker then confronted the witness and attempted to stab them. The witness was unable to avoid the attacker and was injured. The attacker would have most likely killed the witness had it not been for a police car that arrived at the scene. The attacker attempted to escape but was arrested by the officers. The Senator and the witness were both taken to a hospital by ambulance. There, the doctors did their best to save them both. The witness survived but Senaroe Leontius did not. This was all confirmed by the security cameras in the area, which recorded the brutal video.
A few hours after the death of the Senator was announced, the terrorist organisation known as AEFNS claimed responsibility for the attack. This was confirmed when questioning the subject, as he had spent time with the man responsible for the Bombing of Secretariat of Foreign Affairs. The group that has been responsible for the deaths of over 150 people has been priority number one in Kundrati and now it has become even more important.
Martie Aregita said in a press conference that:
Bringing to justice the disgusting people behind the terrorist organisation known as AEFNS is one of the biggest priorities for us. Originally, we had thought that dealing with AEFNS internally was the best option. This has been proven wrong. We will now take a different route. We will cooperate with NACTO and Endralonian Admiral Trón in any way that is required to bring these criminals to justice.
The announcement was received with support, especially from the Senate, with many Senators now afraid of the reach of AEFNS. Now many of them have requested extra security from the Kundrati Special Service.
We give the family of Menipo Leontius our deepest condolences.
