These individuals were all serving life sentences in high-security for their crimes. Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge spoke to the Prophet about the event. "We have confirmed that ten high-security prisoners, in the early hours of yesterday evening, did escape. And of course, the Muggle Prime Minister has been alerted to the danger. We strongly suspect that the breakout was engineered by a man with personal experience in escaping from Azkaban; notorious mass murderer Sirius Black, cousin of the escapee Bellatrix Lestrange." Black was the first known escapee, when he escaped alone in 1993. The method of escape in both instances remains unknown, but the ministry is confident that they will be quickly rounded up and apprehended. The Ministry previously issued a statement as recently as September of this year that reliable sources indicate that Black is currently hiding in London. It is unknown whether these escapees have joined him there or in a tertiary location. "We are doing all we can to round up the criminals," Fudge continued, "and we beg the magical community to remain alert and cautious. On no account should any of these individuals be approached." The ministry urges anyone who believes they have seen these individuals to contact the authorities immediately. (*Some text used here (C) J.K. Rowling) |
