Paramilitaries Execute 12 for Supposed Bestiality!
Local farmer Javier Rinconi new something suspicious was up when one of his horses went missing a few weeks ago, only to have the animal turn up the following morning dyed pink. As the days went by, the farmer and his family heard their horses kicking up a fuss at night, and some of his neighbors report experiencing similar events regarding their equestrian livestock.
However, things took a turn for the worst last night when Javier was made aware of intruders on his property."My petito son came running to me, and he says 'Papa! Papa! Someone is trying to marry Leo!'. So I get my gun and I go outside and then I see them in the barn. I see my horse who they had made purple is now wearing a veil like from a bride and a bunch of guys. One of them has a fancy suit on the others are wearing Tee-shirts from a petitez girls's show. There are like quite a few of them, so I hads to call the police, you know?
A little while later we hear more screaming and commotion, followed by the sound of lots of gunshots in the distance."
The police apparently showed up sometime later, however the intruders and whomever showed up first were long gone. A short investigation of the area revealed the twelve bodies of the intruders tossed in a shallow grave and hap-hazardly covered in cut grass and palm frawns this morning. While the identity of the men killed remains classified and unclear, it has been reported they were all adult males whom all except one were wearing My Little Pony merchandise, and one of the deceased was wearing a tuxedo.

The usual suspects of an incident like this, Coalicion Autodefense D'Inyursta (CADI) - an armed group which battles Marxist terrorists, drug lords and even common criminals, are not present in this region of the Southern Territories between Sant Dij'oa and the Rio Ochaca. Contre-Rouje, a smaller but somewhat similar paramilitary group is present in the area, however they have remained dedicated only to attacking leftist guerrillas such as Marcon De'Rouje and the now-deceased SLF. For Contre-Rouje to begin taking vigilante justice would mark a severe change in their policy in the wake of the decline of insurgency in the region. Another suspect would simply be some local militia confined only to the immediate area - not an uncommon concept in Inyursta, but not one with the connections and external links such as the pan-locality groups.
Contre-Rouje paramilitaries patrol the jungles outside of Yuaca-Solei. Previously thought to keep their hands out of affairs like this, could these vigilantes be responsible for the attacks?
Public opinion on the matter seems slit from what our sources have gathered. The rural lower-income individuals, including Mr. Rinconi, appears to be in support of vigilante operations; believing that there is little issue to armed groups keeping order when the police and army seem incapable or reluctant to do so.
On the other hand, those of more educated and higher social class seem to see the presence of such groups as a nuisance, and many even see this particular incident as exceptionally distasteful. One anonymous commenter claims states "this sad incident reflects the nature of Inyurstan politics and culture. The tight social status of supposed sexual morality fuses with the deep-rooted gun culture and results in violent over-reactions such as this one...".
While both sides argue, the killers - whichever group they may be a part of - remain at large, while some fear similar misconduct may befall their own livestock...
