Matthew, Melinda, and Marlene McKinnon at a family wedding only two weeks prior

Late Saturday night the Dark Mark was thrown over the household of Marco McKinnon, a highly ranked officer in the Magical Law Department. Aurors on the scene immediately found the bodies of his entire family strewn across the house in no kind of order. McKinnon has not been involved in any recent laws or procedures that may have caused controversy, but his eldest daughter, Melinda McKinnon, is a very vocal muggle-rights activist who recently began a campaign to make Muggle Studies mandatory at Hogwarts.

Unfortunately, the rest of the family did not have such strong ties. Wife Olivia was a wedding dress designer; daughter Marlene was a budding actress, engaged to Cannons Captain Vin Gudgeon; son Matthew was Junior Chief Resident at St. Mungo's Hospital; and daughter-in-law Deidra was an astrologist at the Starky's Planetarium in Diagon Alley. The only survivor of the night was McKinnon's grandson, who was asleep in a room upstairs. He's been taken into ministry custody while arrangements and protective services can be made.





OOC: This is the thread you can treat like your own journals. Single comments can be locked to certain people or you could create the [wards]D:[/wards]. Aurors/hitwizards/ministry/etc (just do whatever right now I'm getting too worked up over this) are welcome to try and answer questions.

They'd scheduled a checkup for the baby tomorrow--

It was just---random? I mean, he's a healer how do you--this doesn't make any sense.

Simon didn't deserve this either---It has to stop--

And unfortunately there is not much we can do---a Hogwarts fund for the child, though. I think that we all could help arrange that.

To have killed the sister, to have wanted her gone for her views---okay, I can almost accept that would happen, at least she actually did something, but the rest of the family, they---what did they ever do to deserve that?

What I want to know is what we can do to help and what the ministry is planning to do to catch the bastards who did this. I'm sick of this asinine ignorance they keep trying to get us to swallow.
