Robert and Richard Dunnigan, brothers, have been discovered wandering the coast of Pembrokeshire early yesterday morning. The two registered Werewolves had gone missing from their home town of Manchester for nearly three weeks before turning up in Wales with no recollection of their respective disappearances.

The Dunnigans were recorded as having lodged at a safe house on Ministry property outside of the city during the last full moon. When their chambers were observed to be unoccupied the morning after, a search was conducted to find the pair.

The attempt was dropped following the absence of Werewolf attacks in the area that evening. It was assumed that the brothers had left on their own accord.

“I just remember checking in one night, and then nothing at all,” the younger Dunnigan explained to journalists. “It were like I’d gone to sleep for weeks.”

His brother Robert was found critically dehydrated and suffering from exhaustion. He is reported to be recovering at St.Mungo’s Hospital.

The recent string of Lycan related disappearances and deaths have instigated rumours that the Werewolf Registry is doing little to protect its constituents. Wilhemena Gunn was unavailable for comment and a statement has yet to be released by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

An expert on the subject, Werewolf advocate Maya Irene-Strangely, criticised the Ministry of Magic for refusing to take immediate action.

“If these murders had nothing to do with Werewolves or safe houses,” the witch asserted, “There would have long ago been a public demand for reprisal.”
