= The Mirror Lake Murders = 
9/19/08
Discovered the corpses of 4 men and one woman on the shore of Mirror Lake during the early afternoon. The bodies exhibited signs of multiple stabbings. Two were missing fingers, maybe where rings had been. Several bodies had portions missing. The bodies were removed to the Cathedral mortuary and are pending inspection by forensics.
I returned to the crime scene with detective Konstia. Konstia made casts of a set of foot prints found near the bodies and that seemed to have dragged the bodies from the nearby cottage. The foot prints are consistent to those of a barefoot female night elf. This ruled out the Defias as culprits since they do not admit elves into the Brotherhood.
We inspected the lake cottage and it became plainly obvious that it had been the place where the victims had been killed. The floor and walls were covered in blood pools and splatter.
Corporal Volke had detained a barefoot female elf the night before. The elf, Kathetia Silverwing, was covered in blood, which she claimed was from her husband’s reagent stash. Her husband, Hukari Hakkan, is a known witch doctor and claimed that his wife had an addiction to the blood. Since no bodies had turned up, we released Kathetia to her husband.
The foot print cast together with the fact that Kathetia had been found barefoot and covered in blood shortly after the approximate time of the murders made Kathetia a person of interest in this investigation.
Detective Konstia and I went to Kathetia’s known domicile to bring her in for questioning. According to Meris, also residing at the same house, Kathetia had left a note saying she had gone out for a few. 
Barnabus, of our legal office, is seeking a search warrant for Kathetia’s domicile.

Kathetia Silverwing voluntarily came in for questioning. After a couple of hours of questioning she was told that there was mounting evidence against her, and that if she wanted to save herself from execution, she should confess in exchange for a plea bargain. A friend of hers present at the interview convinced her to confess. Kathetia gave a written and signed confession for the five murders.
The plea agreement specified a stayed sentence of execution as long as she complied with one year or probation, one year of community service to the Orphanage, and a 50 gold fine as restitution for the families of the victims. During the term of her probation, she may not carry any weapons, must advise of any change of domicile, and may not travel without permission. Her community service will allow for a period of maternity leave. Any violation of the terms of the plea agreement will reinstate the sentence of execution.
