Memorial to “Little Luthien” Victims Dedicated 2/03/3134

KORDAVA – In a solemn ceremony marked by a sounding of bells, the lowering of
nine white flags, and the reading of nine names now permanently engraved in a simple
marble column, residents of Kordava Bay’s “Little Luthien” community paid their final
respects to the victims of the so-called “Kappa”, a serial killer whose reign of terror
began back in February. Knight-Errant Kristoff Erbe and the Towne Bureau of
Investigations’ Inspector Frances Becca joined Kordava police chief Geoffrey
Flecher, mayor Stewart Harmand, and community leader Yoshiro Kalawaska in the
two-hour dedication service just inside the marina where eight women were found
slain, allegedly by Shu Imashinigi, a local fisherman who some believe was driven
mad by the loss of his wife and daughter.
“They were our children, our friends, our family,” said Kalawaska, the Kordava
businessman who donated the memorial now rising just inside the marina gates, where
hundreds of visitors to the maritime community pass through every day. “May their
spirits remind us all what it means to be a community, even as we carry on without
them.”
Allegedly taking the name of the “Kappa”, a mythical Japanese water demon often
likened to vampires of European myth, officials believe that the so-called “Little
Luthien” killer claimed the lives of eight women ranging in age from 21 to 31, in a
series of ritualistic slaying, leaving their bodies, nude and mutilated, in the waters of
Kordava’s harbor while taunting authorities and setting off a wave of superstitious
panic among the city’s community of Draconis Combine descendants.
Today, the names of all nine victims of the killer—eight women and one police
officer—now appear etched and enameled into the surface of the simple white marble
pillar, in the order in which they were slain. Alicia Lang, the first and youngest of the
victims, appears near the top of the two meter column, followed by Takira Ikashi,
Carmen Luego, Silva Agano, Shari Nakohama, Reiko Urikashi, Nariko Chantrea, and
Mari Ingersoll. William Mousa, the Kordava officer who was mortally wounded in the
final shootout to bring the alleged killer, Shu Imashinigi, to justice, appears beneath the
names of all eight women.
Kaori Atariya, the nineteen year old retail worker who authorities say escaped from
Imashinigi before he could make her his ninth victim, was also present at the
dedication, and broke down in tears as the names of all victims was recited by Sir
Erbe at the close of the ceremonies.

+ I love how the media always says “allegedly” in cases like this! They saw the man
shoot a cop, they chased him down, cuffed him, and searched his boat to find body
parts everywhere, but he may JUST be innocent after all! :- WetWillie
+ Last I checked, it was still “innocent until proven guilty”, WW :- Vesuvius
+ He SHOT a COP! His boat was filled with BODY PARTS! They don’t “prove” any
guiltier than that! :- WetWillie
+ I’m just glad Kalawaska didn’t grandstand too much this time. They way he’s
bashed the local authorities and police, you’d think we was a front man for the
Dragon’s Fury or something. :- Lkool
+ You know, just because he was looking out for the Combine community when
nobody else was, doesn’t make Mr. Kalawaska an insurgent, LK. I’d have expected a
remark like that from WW. :- Draco041
