Two months after the suspicious arson of the Collectibles Boutique, the MLE are no closer to finding those responsible. Unfortunately they are confident in confirming the death of the shop owner, Chester Scabior. Remains found at the scene indicated a grim picture from the beginning, but it wasn't until recently that the test came back proving that they were in fact those of Mr. Scabior. Chester was a 1977 graduate of Hogwarts, and only twenty-five at the time of his death.

Five days after Magical Law Enforcement Officers responded to a call about a disturbance at a small shop just on the outskirts of London there has still been no sign of the shop owner, Chester Scabior.

The collectibles boutique was found in ruin last Sunday evening and hitwizards are suspecting foul play.

"It's pretty safe to say, whatever happened here was no accident. There are no suspects yet, but its still early on in the investigation. As for Mr. Scabior, if he was in the building when it burned down, the prospects for survival are pretty grim."

If you have any information regarding this incident, please contact the Ministry immediately.

Unicorn Family Kidnapped from Forbidden Forest!  
In a statement issued by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, a young family of unicorns has been taken from the Forbidden Forest that lines the outskirts of the school.

"I have been in contact with some of the centaurs that live in the forest, as they work as protectors of their home and the creatures who live in it. Earlier this week. The centaur Firenze informed me that a mother, father, and their foal have seemingly disappeared from the forest under what appears to be a struggle."

Unicorns are powerful magical creatures. It's not easy to catch them, and those who do harm to the creature are destined for a cursed life. Headmaster Dumbledore states that he will be venturing into the Forbidden Forest to help investigators and hopes that the unicorns can be found before they can be killed and sold on the dark magic market.

Earthquake in London! The cause? The much anticipated release of JONAS ACKERLY's debut album as a solo act. Hundreds of young witches and wizards descended upon EAR FLUKE'S RECORDS in Diagon Alley this afternoon and caused quite the scene when the FOR THE LOVE OF ZEUS frontman himself arrived to personalize copies of KEEP THE LIGHT ON for the first one-hundred fans to purchase the album. Tears were shed! Hexes were cast! And in the end, one much-too-eager young witch was detained for her raucous behavior after all 500 copies of the album sold out within the hour. Nearly twenty other record stores across the Wizarding London area owled prior to this printing that all copies of the 10-track record had been sold.

What does this die-hard ZEUS fan think of Ackerly's candy-coated rock debut? It's a surefire hit that will no doubt keep those at Witch Weekly screeching for more! Turn to page 11 for the full review!
