Families of victims in plea to Lauchenoiria: please return Eddington
31st July 2019

Family members of the thirteen victims of notorious serial killer Jasmine Eddington have today delivered a heartfelt plea to the government of Lauchenoiria, asking them to extradite Eddington, who escaped during a routine prison transfer and fled across the border. Eddington has been in Lauchenoirian custody since for 10 days on immigration charges – however under Lauchenoirian law they must release her on Sunday.

Full letters from a family member or friend of each of the victims have been sent to the Lauchenoirian government, addressed to both Prime Minister Josephine Alvarez and Foreign Minister Sandra Pavía, who initially refused the extradition. Extracts from some of those letters have been reproduced below:

“My son was only thirteen when he was murdered. They found him in the church, with scars across his face from where she hit him. She [Eddington] says she was doing the work of the Goddess but she is as far from enlightenment as it is possible to get.” – Delia, mother of Harris, murdered in 2007 at the age of 13.

“I don’t really remember my brother, I was only a child when he died. It broke my parents, my father ended up in prison after getting into a drunken fight and my mother is no longer with us. Eddington destroyed my family.” – Felipa, sister of Jacob, murdered in 2006 at the age of 14.

“David was my boyfriend at the time. We were both 17, and people looked down on the relationship so I didn’t get much sympathy when he was murdered. It was only later that I discovered I was pregnant.” – Susanna, girlfriend of Nico, murdered in 2009 at the age of 17.

“He was my twin. We did everything together – we shared a room, we went to school, we played together after. When he died it was like she had killed a part of me too. The thought of her running loose again terrifies me.” – Joshua, twin brother of Billy, murdered in 2008 at the age of 12.

“She says she wants to punish males for their sins, but these are not the abusive men from the patriarchal past, these were young citizens of Kerlile, like my nephew, who were trying to do their best and build a future.” – Tamsin, aunt of Peter, murdered in 2006 at the age of 14.

“If Eddington is set free by [Lauchenoiria’s] government, then she will undoubtedly kill again. I don’t want anyone to go through what I did when my son died. Please, for the sake of the people of Lauchenoiria, send her back.” – Millie, mother of Nathan, murdered in 2008 at the age of 16.

It is expected that Councillor Jennifer Hale will attempt to speak with Prime Minister Josephine Alvarez via a phone call this evening to discuss the situation. In this call, Councillor Hale will assure the Lauchenoirians that Eddington will not be executed and will instead remain in prison for life.
