Alleged Hacker has Lucky Escape from Flood
February 27th, 2030
Police had to force an entry into a house today following another apparent online confession. The confession was posted on a comedy website under the name notquitethere, and gathered thousands of views and replies within just a few hours. Police responded quickly and moved to arrest the man who had made the confession.
When they got to his house they found all the doors and windows electronically sealed, and had to break in due to the occupant apparently being unable to open them. Just minutes after the suspect was taken from the house all of the taps in the house turned on at once.
"If we had not been on hand there is a good chance the suspect would have been seriously injured or worse in the flood,said a police representative, "This may have been an attempted reprisal from Pseudonym, as this man is believed to be a "mafia goon" trying to change the direction of the group. It serves as a reminder of just how dangerous and amoral they are."
notquitethere has been doxxed.
He was a mafia goon.
"Black Day" for Prosecution Service
March 20th, 2030
The crisis embroiling the police force and prosecution service deepened today after it emerged that they had insufficient evidence to charge 4 suspects - known online as TolyK, Captain Ford, TheZoomZoll and Deathsword -. Their trial started today, but a prosecutor was forced to admit that he did not have sufficient evidence to form a case against any of them, citing an "unexplained technical error" at the prosecutor's office that had caused all evidence against the four men to be lost or destroyed. The jury returned a unanimous innocent verdict after just five minutes of deliberation.
It should be noted however that the trial of four other alleged hackers - known as Nerjin, Urist Imiknorris, Dariush and notquitethere - is scheduled to go ahead as planned, and it is believed that these men will not receive mitigation for their testimony now that the other cases have collapsed.
This follows news that alleged hacking mastermind "Leafsnail" has vanished from his maximum security prison cell. A guard raised the alarm after he found the cell empty this morning, but investigators believe he may have left his cell many hours before that. There is currently no official explanation as to how the cell door was unlocked, or as to why the security cameras on-site still show the suspect in his cell.
Police sources have declined to comment on these developments.
