20TH MAY 2009

William Tawse, 30, Jacharius Stillerby, 45, and Finnley Perpolis, 37, were killed by Azkaban guards last night in an attempt to escape the confines of Azkaban. Each wizard successfully evacuated their cells and made it to the exterior of the wizarding prison before Stillerby and Perpolis were each shot down by the prison’s guards.

Tawse successfully reached the prison’s exterior and threw himself from the 25th level of the great triangular building before Azkaban guard Kelsey Grifferough, 56, used his own wand to throw the convicted murderer against the jagged rocks. Tawse’s mangled body was recovered in the early hours of this morning. His body was found twelve yards from the initial point of impact, a trail of blood showing the path the man crawled. A very fat buzzard was found pecking at his crushed skull. Though guards can only speculate, it's assumed that was also the fate of the corpse's eyes.

It still remains unknown if the three deceased had outside aide to conduct this escape. But with William Tawse’s cousin, Cináed Tawse still at large and his wife, Nicola Randall  free, the prophet can hazard a guess as to the truth.
