The werewolf in question, a Muggle teacher, has not yet been named. It is understood that he was supervising an overnight school trip with several other members of staff from his school. The children were due to return to Birmingham today. Ministry officials have said that the other victims are teachers and hotel guests, though several have yet to be identified. An expert at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies has suggested that the man only became a werewolf a month ago. "No one would put themselves in a situation like that if they knew what could happen." Muggle law enforcement arrested the werewolf shortly after dawn and he reportedly did not resist being taken into custody.

"We couldn't bloody well leave him there," said one Auror, who refused to be named. Story continues on page four. |
