Solve This Murder

Murder mystery about an unsolved crime

Part 12: Haunted Houses


The victims often died unintentionally whilst the gang factions and individuals fought over ownership of that individuals body, mind, and their home. The victim would be sobbing and begging for their lives or that of their pets. The women who did the speaking would just mock them viciously and cowardly.

The aim was to use them for income and use their home for criminal purposes, yet the majority died ‘by accident’. There were no dividends or buildings gained from the accidents. They just died, horrifically. The women would always break into cheers as the person died. The last thing that they heard were childish taunts.

If the gang had access to the victims home then they removed the contents of the home. They took everything in a removal van and unceremoniously dumped all of it at communal bins on housing estates. The victim was placed in bin bags and dumped in the bins underneath their belongings. Entire families histories were stolen and erased in seconds. Photos, diaries, art, mementoes, everything from a persons life was thrown in the bins. When the victims family turned up to check on their kin there would be no trace of them, but there was always a lot of suspicious activity. 
During the whole process family pets would be murdered, often in front of their owners. If any were left over they were just dumped, or left in place but not fed so they would wander off to find food and somewhere safer. I often wondered if the buildings are haunted by the occupants pets and their owners.
The place where it all began is eerie, and has a dark feel to it. So many people died there that it pushed the mortality rate statistics up by 30% in that one street. That was just the ones whose bodies were found, staged as suicides or heart attacks. Maybe one day they will bulldoze the street and turn it into a memorial gardens.
Maybe all the hijacked homes will become memorials.
