DEATH EATER KIDNAPS MOTHER, DAUGHTER IN BROAD DAYLIGHT
Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange, known to be in You-Know-Who's Inner Circle, was spotted in Diagon Alley this afternoon among the rush of Christmas shoppers, shortly before kidnapping Andromeda Black Tonks and her daughter, Nymphadora. Their conditions and whereabouts are currently unknown, though there was a significant struggle.
Witnesses described the scene as 'chaotic'. "We didn't know what was happening," said Willa Crocker, a shopper who witnessed the scene. "There was a scuffle, some hexes thrown, and the girl was unconscious, but before anyone could step in, they were gone."
No one else was injured in the incident. Pureblood Black Tonks is known throughout Wizarding society for her marriage to Muggleborn Ted Tonks, which resulted in her infamously being disowned from the Black family. Lestrange and Black Tonks are sisters, though it is currently unknown if Black Tonks and her daughter were specifically targeted, or if this was a random run-in. No ransom has yet been demanded, and the condition of the victims is currently unknown.
