Речь НародаLeonid ‘Lyonya’ Brantov found dead at St. Grigoriy Cemetery
29 December 4364The St. Grigoriy Cemetary in Rodshyadam where mr. Brantov was found murdered on the 28th.Rodshyadam -- At around 11 am yesterday the body of former President and Viceroy Leonid 'Lyonya' Brantov was found on the St. Grigoriy Cemetary in the capital of Trigunia. The political behemoth had been brutally murdered in the morning hours while visiting the grave of his wife, who died a few weeks prior on November 15th. Mr. Brantov was known as a political bravado who took the Trigunian political scene by storm a decade prior. Several times the outspoken politician, usually referred as Lyonya, caused controversy in national and international politics. Yet most in Trigunia today remember him as someone who opened politics for all Trigunians. His honest approach, the layman's politics, saw the rise of many political parties. Under his brilliant leadership the Tsar was restored to the rightful throne. All in all the nation has lost a great man with the death of mr. Brantov.
The police investigation, which is currently still ongoing, so far suspect a murder robbery. The chief of police of Rodshyadam had the following to say about the tragic incident. "Mr. Brantov has been the likely victim of a very brutal murder robbery. His schedule was different every day, every week, yet one thing always remained the same. Every Friday since the burial of his wife mr. Brantov would venture to the cemetary. He always did this around 8 or 9 am, just before starting a busy last day of the week. At the St. Grigoriy Cemetery these are quiet hours and some distasteful criminal most likely took advantage of a grieving mr. Brantov and surprised him at the most unwelcome place. Mr. Brantov, a brave and spirited man at heart, must have resisted this robbery and he was killed in the ensuing struggle." The chief refused to comment on further rumours that Lyonya's head had been struck in by a gravestone, nor the persistant rumour that none of his valuables were ever taken. There are some that speak of a political murder and the Vozhd has already announced a full day of mourning to start on the 30th of December. In a brief statement he said that "if the police investigation turns out to have the incorrect conclusion and this was a murder I believe we all know who was responsible for this: the communists. Keep a weary eye, my good Trigunian comrades, look around you for enemies, look around you for traitors. If heroes like Lyonya are not even safe then we must truly purge this nation."
