ministry assassination
On May 2nd, everyone held their breath. Security tightened both at Diagon Alley and the Ministry of Magic. However, when nothing happened for a week, security loosened back to the normal amount and business went on as usual.
On May 10th, Gwendon Maxwell, the Head Auror of the Magical Department of Law Enforcement, was found dead in her office. She had only been the Head Auror for a few months after Raevan Rockwell stepped down from the position. Sources confirm that her death was caused by the Killing Curse. The Ministry is currently investigating who entered and exited the Ministy that day and is questioning all guests from that day.
On the same day, Tyrus Tillford, and the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, was found dead in his home. The cause is unknown. The Ministry will neither confirm or deny whether these two murders were connected or if it were a coincidence.
Tillford was eighty-five at the time of his death and was ready to retire in two weeks time. He is survived by his wife and two children, one which has been employed at the Ministry for many years and recently joined the Wizengamot previously this month.
