There has been a murder here in Prepositionville, adjacent to Balconville just outside of

Montreal....

The situation

Last night, Jean Jacques Morningstar, the brother of the mayor, Yves Ning Morningstar, died
from fatal stab wounds at about 2AM in downtown Montreal, on Guy Street between Notre
Dame and St. Antoine. A woman named Genevieve Elise Emmanuelle was the only witness.
According to her story, after leaving a disco-bar at about 1:45 AM, she took a short cut through
an alley to get home. There she saw a man bleeding on the ground. She also saw a man
running away. He was heavy-set, about 5’11, and wore dark sunglasses, sweatpants and a red
cardigan. A suspect is in custody.

Found at the crime scene was a piece of wood with blood stains that could be the murder
weapon, a turned over garbage can, a shattered liquor bottle and a blood stained knife that
could also be the murder weapon.

The autopsy report showed that the victim had a deep neck wound....which may have killed him.
The victim had a tattoo on his hand, a scrape above his knee and some skin cells and a black
hair under his finger nails.

The only possessions found with on his body were a gold watch, a safety deposit box key and a
wallet in his pocket that had no credit cards or other identification. He was identified by the
officer on the scene who recognized him from the newspaper.
