Missing Unicorn Found Dead



As of yesterday, 06:37am, the body of formerly missing unicorn Twilight Sparkle has been found lifeless in the back alley behind the Knives & Beakers shop, n.26 Bluemoon Avenue. The shop was briefly closed down for investigation, then reopened shortly after, at around 01:43pm. Neither the Guard nor the deceased's family have so far agreed to an interview.

The unicorn, a 21 year old mare studying at the Royal Academy, was first reported missing on the 11th of last month by her roommates after failing to return to her dormitory the previous night. She was last seen the previous morning, reportedly heading for a visit to the Canterlot Spire in Reconciliation Park. Her roommates had at the time declared how her behaviour had not seemed "any weirder than usual".

The circumstances of her death remain a mystery. The Guard has put forth an official communicate stating that "the investigation will continue until all the available evidence has been found and analysed", but no official statement has been made regarding the time necessary. Witnesses on the scene, including the pony who first found the body and alerted the authorities, have stated that Twilight was found alongside what appeared to be a journal. They also reported that the mare showed visible, significant wounds.
