The story presses onward as you gather in this now familiar "courtroom" to deliberate the deaths of two more of your number. By now there's more space for everyone with the population dwindling down to twenty, and by this weekend's end it will dip ever further. But maybe in a time like this more space is needed, though one most always be mindful of the clock.

Adora and Norton Campbell are dead, and the price must be repaid.

[OOC NOTE: Please keep in mind the only mod run checks are those that directly involve a piece of evidence found during the investigation. Those checks that involve player participation will rely on each player's willingless to partake in the check, for the sake of keeping IC choices intact]

(norton bodytouch) dismemberment cw all the way down baybeeee

[amortristis]

Raven and I found Norton on the shore of the lake near the docks. He was cut into three pieces, along here and here. [ She’ll draw the imaginary seatbelt across herself to indicate where the dismemberment took place. ] I only saw everything from the waist up, as the rest of his body was nowhere to be seen in the immediate area.

It looked like he was sawed through. There was some rigidness to his body, but nothing significant. There was a fair amount of discoloration to this skin, likely for the fact that his body was in the water for some time. He also had bruising on the outside of his forearms, but there was no discernible pattern to them.

He also had some cuts on his face, but they were shallow and were fairly irregular as far as placement and size.

... Could the discolouration be used to mask the use of poison?

[amortristis]

It's possible. I was unable to find any sort of wound that read as being a direct cause of death. [ Which is a wild ass thing to say given the state of him. ]

If poison is at play, then it's very possible that the dismemberment took place after Norton was incapacitated or killed.
