East Coast Murders

"A father and his ten-year-old son from Enterprise and a man from Non Pariel, were yesterday [May 6th, 2001] found shot dead in the backdam about a mile west of their villages." All three killed were of East Indian descent. This, coupled with the similarly mysterious McKinnon killing, has intensified racial insecurities and mistrust in the Land of Six Peoples. LOSP will continue to follow the story line.
