FAMILY OF SIX DEAD AFTER "DARK ARMY" ATTACK
DP London - Eustace Wheeler
LONDON - After another gruesome attack made by the "Dark Army"--a ragtag collection of dark creatures such as werewolves, hags, vampires and banshees, lead by notorious werewolf and murderer, Fenrir Greyback--the Department of Magical Law Enforcement has confirmed that the bodies of Roger and Ingrid Jorkins and those of their children, Edith (28), Catherine (26), Bertha (23), and Matthew (20), were found savagely mauled to death at their family home in London.
"These creatures have absolutely no respect for anything or anyone," said Bartemius Crouch Sr., Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. "This is just another in what is most unfortunately becoming a series of senseless, atrocious and despicable attacks. The [DMLE] is doing everything in its power to track and capture these beasts but they live far outside the realm of the law. They think they can make their own rules, destroy families... they are a threat in league with You Know Who and his followers."
This vicious and seemingly unprovoked attack against the Jorkins family is the third attack made by the Dark Army since July 12, other victims including Arthur and Molly Weasley and their children, and Xenophilius and Eleanor Lovegood. Mr Weasley is a Ministry official with the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, and Mr and Mrs Lovegood publish the offbeat Quibbler magazine. Both families reside in Ottery St. Catchpole--this most recent attack is an anomaly in terms of location. [More details on the Jorkins family and the attack on page A2]
