A third body was found yesterday, another death in the recent series of tragic deaths. The unknown murderer, who some are calling the Midnight Killer, has still not been found.

John Knowl (27), a local business man, was found dead yesterday morning. This brings the death count to three. Knowl was a young man who was quickly rising through the ranks. His sudden death has come as a great surprise to his colleagues, who had this to say about him; "John was really driven, we all thought he was going to be managing director in no time. We just can't believe it."

The Hatfield and Herts found out that last Friday, Lisa Collins, wife of the late Jeff Collins, was approached by Baron Von Wampktcher, when we asked her what they had talked about this is what she had to say; "The Baron is a very kind man, and is only concerned with my safety. Having said that, I was unable to agree with him. I would like to make it quite clear that I am not considering that this may be some kind of supernatural killing."

However, the Baron told us this in an exclusive interview; "This is the work of that creature of the night, the Vampire. It is not that they all feast on blood, some feed upon the very soul of a man, thus leaving no marks. It is this kind of vampire, altitudo benignus, as I have called it, that has committed these acts."

Some people say that the Baron's 'help' is more trouble than it is worth. A statement issued by the police today read; "While we would like to thank Baron Von Wampktcher, we would like to remind members of the public to remain calm. It is important to remember that, no matter what some people might say, there is no evidence that these deaths were committed by vampires, or indeed, that vampires exist."

The reward for information of the midnight killer still stands at £50,000.

MARLON BRANDO IN HATFIELD?

Last week a dead horse was found in the home of a local resident. The victim, who wishes to remain anonymous, was most upset. "Is this someone's idea of a joke? It's not funny, that's all I can say! I couldn't believe it when I saw it, and now the front room stinks. I was away for a few days and when I came back, this was there. I was gutted." Police are investigating and have asked for witnesses.
