national figure, a parallel scene unfolded in the city's vibrant nightlife. A
noticeable influx of daringly dressed non-local damsels were observed gracefully
moving between high-end hotels. Their reported mission was to scout for the
high-profile guests who had flocked the lakeside city for the historic funeral.

killing over the three nights, turning their nocturnal ventures into the city's

many speculating that the perceived penny pinchers are comfortable knowing a
more powerful patron came to their rescue.
