Council calls allegations of involvement in Eddington crash ‘absurd’
19th August 2019

The Council of Kerlile has denied allegations that the Kerlian government was responsible for the plane crash which killed serial killer Jasmine Eddington. Eddington, a Kerlian citizen, was on route to Sanctaria from Lauchenoiria after Lauchenoiria decided to extradite her to Sanctaria after rejecting the Kerlian request.

The wreckage of the jet was found today with the bodies of all on board, including Eddington. Despite no signs of foul play, conspiracy theorists in patriarchal countries have taken to the internet to accuse the Matriarchy of taking out Eddington by ordering ‘planted’ pilots to undertake a suicide mission. These theories have been endorsed by anti-Kerlian politician in Lauchenoiria, Paul Doberman, whose words have encouraged Lauchenoirians to attack Kerlians and other women.

The Council have asked the Lauchenoirian government to publicly denounce Doberman’s claims and release a statement opposing the spread of such theories. Instances of violence against women in Lauchenoiria have been on the rise since Doberman and others began spreading conspiracy theories about Kerlian sleeper agents. This has led the Kerlian Department of Information & Statistics to downgrade Lauchenoiria’s rating on their Women’s Safety Index, which ranks foreign nations based on various factors pertaining to the safety of women in each country.

Councillor Nirmala Patel, speaking to the Kerlian News Service, said: “We were not involved in this tragic accident, and to imply we were is offensive. We did not wish to see Eddington dead, as reflected in the fact that she was not given the death sentence when convicted. My colleagues and I would not normally comment on such absurd theories, but we are no longer willing to stand by while our country is slandered.”
