KING ASLAN SLAIN IN NARNIA BY

ASSASSIN
“Narnia shocked,
saddened by the slaying.”

King of Narnia is no more. Last

night, Aslan was murdered on the
Stone Table by The White Witch.
Two witnesses --children named
Susan, and Lucy Pevensie were
present at the time of the
assassination. According to the
Pevensie children, Edmund
Pevensie, their older brother, was
persuaded by the White Witch to
be her servant. Instead, Aslan
heroically rescued Edmund, and
returned him to Narnian custody,

The suspect has yet to be captured, but The Pevensie Sisters claim to have seen the Witch
approach Aslan with her stone knife and said to him, “Fool, did you think that by all this you would
save this human traitor (Edmund)? Now I will kill you instead of him as our pact was and so the
Deep Magic will be appeased. But when you are dead what will prevent me from killing him as
well? And who will take him out of my hand then? Understand that you have given me Narnia
forever, you have lost your own life, and you have not saved his. In that knowledge, despair and

and covered their eyes in fear. However, once they opened them up again, the only thing they saw
was Aslan’s dead and pale body. We believe in innocent until proven guilty, but all evidence points to
one suspect: The White Witch. All of Narnia is mourning the loss of their Great King.
