Happy belated anniversary to FNAF!

For my anniversary peice, I have a drawing and a fic that I made as a part of my Phone Guy Month over on Tumblr.

This one is for prompt 10 - Murder?! And in this piece, I show you one of FNAF's core tragedies, from the perspective of an all too curious witness…

Warning: there are very brief mentions of blood and violence, but it isn't very explicit at all.

°°•°°•°°•°°•°°•°°•🌹•°°•°°•°°•°°•°°•°°

August 1987: 5 children went missing at a birthday party hosted for nobody, lured away by a man in a mascot costume that should have been put out of order ages ago, but had been on the performer rotation as 'animatronic only' until recently.

Unlike the other missing children incidents at other Freddy's locations that all happened two years prior, this one had a witness. Krasnyy Guy, head of training for security, used the recordings taken of the party to try and locate the kids, but when he found them, it was too late. He also knew exactly who was wearing the suit from his eyes alone.

Given that he had the moment of the last murder on video, he thought he was next.

However, he was chased out by shadow bonnie, Ina's ghost, and when someone did attempt to kill him after he fled the building and down the street, heading to the police station, he was only shot once in the leg, and nothing else.

The bullet removed from his leg, testimony from parents about him talking to them since the party started, and what patrons reported as clearly a ghost that resembled the shadowy silhouette of spring bonnie chasing him out of the bathrooms shortly after he went to check that area for the missing children, and the footage from his camera all took him off the suspect list.

However the footage was too grainy to identify the perpetrator, and Ina had disguised as Vincent after the man had changed into the spring bonnie costume, giving Vincent an alibi with the only counter-evidence being that Ina Vincent was avoiding Krasnyy's camera, as she knew she'd cause interference in the recording if it caught her in the frame. It didn't help that Krasnyy descended into a panic attack whenever he even thought about the MCI, rendering him unable to speak on the matter; Faz Ent had effectively silenced him without even having to kill him. But the most important factor of all, who would believe him that Vincent Taylor, father of two of the victims, was the killer?

=°•.🌹 Story 🌹.•°=

°°•°°•°°•°°•°°•°°•🌹•°°•°°•°°•°°•°°•°°

It was a seemingly normal day in the middle of August, 1987. The party seemed to be going normally, until one of the parents realised that their kids were missing.

Then a few others also realised that they couldn't find their kids.

Krasnyy had been recording the birthday party at his manager's request. He didn't know whose party it was: the Taylor twins birthday had passed a few months ago and had ended in a horrifying incident that he certainly couldn't forget, and the next birthday in the twins friend group wasn't until next month, and as the party invitations had been dished out as if it was for this friend group - though they were handed to one of the parents of each kid instead of to the kids themselves - Krasnyy couldn't help but wonder who or what this party was for.

He had been interacting with the parents, and it had been nice to be able to talk to other adults - even if he only 19. When everyone begun to notice that the kids had gone missing, Krasnyy had immediately checked his recording to see if he could find where they had wandered off to, and he noticed a particular yellow rabbit costume, and he noticed the five kids following it.

The five kids were Felix and Gerald Taylor, Celes, Roy, and Ferdinand.

It reminded him of the news stories that had come out of other Freddy's locations within the past two years.

When he brought it up to the parents, he noticed that Camilla, the intelligent chemist and mother to Celes and Susanna, the latter of which was the only one of Camilla's daughters present in the room with them, had a sombre look on her face. When Krasnyy suggested heading over to the area of the pizzeria where the yellow rabbit had gone to see if the kids were still there, he swore that he saw her reach out to grab his sleeve as if to stop him, but she pulled back, her fingers only ever brushing the air around his work shirt. It felt eerily as if she knew something that he didn't and didn't want him to leave the table as a result.

Well, now he knew why.

After he followed where he had seen the yellow rabbit taking the kids, he found that the safe room door - one of those hidden doors that usually lies flush with the wall, but has a slight seam around it to tell you that there is a door here - was ajar.

The safe room door was supposed to be closed at all times, but it had been left open, and the smell of iron was emanating from it.

His curiosity had gotten the better of him, and with his camera still running, he peeked through the door.

A… Murder?!?

Hundreds of thoughts ran through Krasnyy's brain as he tried to comprehend the scene in front of him. Five bodies on the floor, each terrified, but each seemingly having been given a very quick death, despite the copious amounts of blood.

His eyes and camera then fell back on the culprit: a man wearing the costume of the yellow rabbit. In the dim light, the man's eyes were barely visible underneath the mascot head, but he knew those eyes that were devoid of any emotions other than sadnesses anywhere.

What had forced Vincent Taylor to murder his own children, Gerald and Felix? Did Camilla know that Celes would be dead? Did they both know in advance? Is that why they both looked so miserable as they gave their kids the best day of their lives yesterday?

Because they knew it would be thier kid's last day alive.

Did Vincent's wife, Noire, and Camilla's husband, Dorian, know?

Krasnyy felt Vincent's eyes meet his own, and he felt frozen to the spot.

He had not only witnessed a murder, but had recorded it on camera.

He was going to die.

But before Vincent could begin to approach him, something else leaped out at him first. The shadowy form of a rabbit. And her presence alone shorted his camera.

Is that why Vincent had been so sheepish after 'returning from the bathroom': it had been Ina, pretending to be the man that she normally posessed.

With a fresh burst of adrenaline, Krasnyy ran from the scene screaming. He ran away from the safe room, ran out of the bathroom corridor, did a heel turn, and then ran straight for the entrance corridor and exit.

As he ran towards the police station, thinking that maybe if they got the footage soon enough, he'd be able to be kept safe and maybe he'd live - a gunshot rang out.

Krasnyy felt as if a metal beam had been stabbed into his leg. It burned, and his leg could no longer support his weight, so he collapsed.

He figured that he was a gonner: he was now a sitting duck collapsed in the middle of the pavement. But no second shot ever came.

From the pain in his leg, he knew that the assailant had the high ground. He knew he was still visible.

So as the blood loss and fear darkened his vision, Krasnyy wondered "how am I not dead yet."

The next thing Krasnyy remembered was waking up on the waiting room couch of the police station, where someone had managed to patch up his leg. From the searing pain that still ripped through the impact site and through his leg, he knew he wouldn't be able to run again any time soon.

He doesn't remember if he went to the hospital later, or if he wound up just recovering either at the station or at Mike's mum's place, but he finds it hard to remember through the blur visceral fear.

After all, after witnessing a murder at 19, he's surprised he remembers anything else about that day: the only thing he remembers clearly was the murder.

He remembers exactly what he saw, yet he cannot say it. Every time he remembers, panic takes over, forcing him sometimes to tears, and sometimes into a state of dread and fear far beyond tears, that renders him unable to speak, write or even move.

He may be alive, but Faz Ent had still managed to silence him, without blackmail and without killing him.

It was almost poetic in a fucked up way: his job was to train people, often over the phone, using his words to tell people all about how to work at Freddy's and survive the one animatronic that may sometimes try to kill the guard (that puppet was an odd thing; Krasnyy has no idea where it came from or if he can trust it or not, as some nights it would try to kill him, yet other nights it would seem to recognise him from somewhere and leave him be, but his father had taught him how to deal with it, and in turn, he teaches the guards to not forget the music box, as whilst the springlock animatronics that the puppet can somehow force to roam on its behalf are easy to deal with, the puppet itself is almost always a death sentence if it escapes it's box), and yet he couldn't use those words to tell anyone about what had happened in the safe room that day.

All he could do was use his words to warn other guards that there would be five more animatronics trying to kill them from now on.

Krasnyy knew it'd take years to be able to even think about the MCI without the sheer memories of it rendering him mute and immobile, but he hoped that one day, maybe he'd be able to reveal what he saw, even if it might cost him his life in the process, because to Krasnyy, that's what a journalist does.

On March 1, 2018, Alexander Skripal would have turned 44 years old. But he couldn’t celebrate his birthday with father Sergei Skripal and sister Yulia because Alexander was dead. He died on July 18, 2017; his body cremated in St Petersburg; his ashes buried at the London Road Cemetery at Salisbury (lead image), beside his mother, Lyudmila Skripal.

To honour Alexander’s birthday, his father and sister drove to the cemetery on Sunday morning, March 4, 2018. The distance from their home in Salisbury to the cemetery is less than five kilometres; depending on the route and the traffic, the drive can take less than ten minutes. Early on that cold wintry day, the journey would have taken less time.

The Skripals’ journey, their evidence of what happened, and the police testimony, which has followed in the hearings of the Dawn Sturgess Inquiry, reveal a tangle of inconsistencies, contradictions, fabrications, stonewalling, and lies. This tangle is proof enough that the British Government narrative of the Russian Novichok attack has collapsed. The truth can be found in the rubble.

A Sunday morning witness named John Hiles, “a retired minister”, told the police “he was following the victim’s vehicle southbound on A30 London Road.”

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for September 28

Morning

“Who is this?”

Matthew 21:1-16

Matthew 21:1-3

He had the hearts of all men under his control, and at once moved the owner to lend his ass. The colt came and its mother at its side, for Jesus would not cause even the meanest creature a needless pain by separating it from its young.

Matthew 21:4 , Matthew 21:5

He came in state as a judge, but it was in fitting state, and such as was becoming in a true ruler in Israel; for he did not ride upon the horse which was the boast of Egypt, but on the humbler ass, which ancient lawgivers had been content with.

Matthew 21:9

And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David or, “Save now, we beseech thee”

Matthew 21:10

Bishop Hall has well said: “The attending disciples need be at no loss for an answer. Which of the prophets has not put it into their mouths? Who is this? Ask Moses, and he shall tell you, the seed of the woman who shall bruise the serpent’s head. Ask your father Jacob, and he shall tell you, the Shiloh of the tribe of Judah. Ask David, and he shall tell you, the King of Glory. Ask Isaiah, and he shall tell you, Emmanuel, Wonderful, the mighty God, the Prince of Peace. Ask Jeremiah, and he shall tell you, the righteous Branch. Ask Daniel, and he shall tell you, the Messiah. Ask John the Baptist, he shall tell you, the Lamb of God. The God of the prophets hath told you, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Yea, the very devils themselves have been forced to confess, I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. On no side hath Christ left himself without a full and plain testimony.”

Matthew 21:11-13

This was his second purgation of the temple. He had cleansed it once before in his earlier ministry. A las! when good things begin to be perverted they need many cleansings before they are set right again.

Matthew 21:14-16

Let children learn from this that Jesus values their praises, and let them give him their hearts while they are yet young.

Ride on, ride on in majesty!

In lowly pomp ride on to die:

O Christ! thy triumphs now begin

O’er captive death and conquered sin.

Ride on, ride on in majesty!

Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh:

The Father, on his sapphire throne,

Expects his own anointed Son.

Ride on, ride on in majesty!

In lowly pomp ride on to die:

Bow thy meek head to mortal pain;

Then, take, O God, thy power, and reign!

Evening

“We would see Jesus.”

John 12:20-36

John 12:20-22

These Greeks did well to desire to see the great teacher, and we shall do still better if in all our attendances upon religious worship our chief desire shall be to see Jesus. We should desire this that we may know him better, trust him more readily, and become more like him. We miss the end of public worship if we fail to see Jesus.

John 12:23 , John 12:24

Our Lord showed that he could only reach his mediatorial glory through death, and he then went on to teach the Greeks, and us, that, in like manner, by self-denial only can any of us attain to glory.

John 12:25-30

This was the third time the heavenly voice had borne witness to him. First, when as our Priest he commenced his life-work at his baptism; a second time upon the mount of transfiguration, when his Father said “Hear ye him,” thus marking him out as the prophet long foretold; and now a third time when he had just entered Jerusalem as

King. Thus in each of his three offices the Father bare witness concerning him.

John 12:32 , John 12:33

Thus by his death Satan is conquered and cast down from the seat of power, and souls are saved by myriads.

Matthew 21:17

We would see Jesus, for we know

His sovereign grace alone

Can on us hearts of flesh bestow,

And for our sins atone.

We would see Jesus, does not he

Bid contrite sinners come?

And to such guilty souls as we

Proclaim “There yet is room!”

We would see Jesus, for his saints

May lean upon his breast;

Pour out with confidence their plaints,

And find celestial rest.

We would see Jesus, and would pray

For those unhappy friends,

Who still pursue that crooked way

Which in perdition ends.

Why We Celebrate the Assumption of the Virgin Mary

The dogma of the Assumption declares that at the conclusion of her earthly life, Mary’s body was preserved from all physical cor­ruption and assumed, along with her soul, into heaven. The doc­trine of the Assumption was made a dogma in 1950 through an ex cathedra statement by Pope Pius XII, but the teaching itself, as with all dogmas, goes back to the Bible and the traditions of the early Church.

The first hint of Mary’s Assumption comes once more from Genesis 3:15. There we see the mother of the redeemer, sharing in her son’s victory over evil: “I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. . .” What does that have to do with the Assumption, you ask?

Well, if you flip ahead in your Bible, you’ll see that in Romans 5-8 and Hebrews 2, St. Paul tells us that the effects of evil, of Satan’s seed, are twofold: sin first, the corruption of death second. Mary’s sharing in her son’s victory over evil, therefore, means that she would, like her son, be free from all stain of sin and escape the fate of bodily corruption after death. By preserving her from sin at conception, God gave Mary the amazing privilege of being born with a fullness of grace. And in the Assumption, the fitting book­end to the Immaculate Conception, her body was spared from the ravages of corruption.

More biblical support for the teaching comes from Luke 1:28, since Mary’s bodily Assumption would be a natural effect of be­ing “full of grace”; and furthermore, from Revelation 12:1, where Mary appears in heaven, crowned with the sun. Importantly, Mary’s appearance comes immediately after St. John tells us that the Ark of the Covenant has appeared in the heavens; remember that the Ark was one of the first Christians’ most common meta­phors for Mary, who, just as the Ark had done, carried the pres­ence of God within her.

It shouldn’t surprise you by now to hear that the early Church believed in this dogma. In the early fourth century, not long after Christianity became legal in the Roman Empire and it became possible to build public places of worship, the Christians in Rome built a grand church in Mary’s honor. Today, that church is known as the Basilica of St. Mary Major. In that church, constructed in approximately 360 AD, is a historical testimony to the early belief in Mary’s Assumption: a fresco depicting the mother of Jesus being lifted up to heaven by the angels.

In the sixth century, St. Gregory of Tours wrote, “The Lord com­manded the holy body [of Mary] to be borne on a cloud to paradise, where, reunited to its soul and exalting with the elect, it enjoys the everlasting bliss of eternity.” From the seventh century onward, numerous Church Fathers, including St. Germaine of Constanti­nople (d. 733), St. Andrew of Crete (d. 740), and St. John Dama­scene (d. 749) wrote and preached about the Assumption.

During the sixth century, the first liturgical feasts dedicated to the Assumption appeared in Syria and Egypt. Western liturgical feasts celebrating the Assumption began taking place in Gaul (modern-day France) in the seventh century, and by the eighth century, it was celebrated in Rome. From the thirteenth century on, the doctrine of Mary’s Assumption was being universally cele­brated throughout the Church in both the East and the West.

When Pius XII declared Mary’s Assumption an official dogma of the Church, he pointed out that there are essential connections between the Assumption and the other Marian dogmas, particu­larly the Motherhood of God and the Immaculate Conception.

Mary’s Assumption is the logical effect of her being preserved from Original Sin. Adam and Eve would likewise have been assumed, uncorrupted, at the end of their earthly lives. Mary, the new Eve, enjoyed what the first Eve lost through sin.

Pope Pius also remarked how appropriate it was that Jesus chose to honor his mother as only a divine son could. Jesus per­fectly fulfilled the Jewish Law, including the Ten Command­ments. Included in those commandments, number four on the list, is “Honor thy father and mother.” Because perfectly fulfilling the law meant perfectly honoring his mother, it makes sense that Jesus would uniquely honor his mother, first, by preserving her from the corruption of the grave and second, by granting her glorification of the body in heaven before the general resurrection of the body for all other saints on the last day. After all, who among us, if it were in our power, would do less for our own mothers?

Another question that often arises in connection with the As­sumption is this: Did Mary die? Well, the Church has never defini­tively said one way or the other. The majority of Catholic and Eastern Orthodox theologians, however, do think it likely that at the end of her earthly life, Mary did die, and by die, we mean a temporary separation of the soul and body, in which the body suf­fers no manner of bodily decay. Her death, however, must have oc­curred in circumstances beyond our ordinary human experience. Mary did not die as most of us do, from disease or from mortal ag­ing. This would not be possible in light of her Immaculate Con­ception, which safeguarded her from the punishments revealed in Genesis due to sin, including death and decay.

Her body would not experience decay, before or after death, because bodily corruption was an effect of the Fall, and Mary’s Im­maculate Conception would prevent her from the punishment of bodily breakdown. Her death is, like her Assumption, fitting, be­cause, as the model of the perfect disciple, she would have wished to imitate her Son in all things, including death.

Mary Radiates the Splendor of the Lord

How beautifully and appropriately does the life and truth of the mother radiate the splendor and the glory of the son! Her divine motherhood en-fleshes our redeemer as a God who loved us so much that he truly becomes one of us to save us. Her virginity re­veals his divine and heavenly origins and exemplifies Mary’s per­fect discipleship to Jesus. Her Immaculate Conception is the greatest fruit of his glorious Redemption and brings our savior into the world in complete separation from the evil one. And her As­sumption foreshadows the ending victory of each person who accepts Jesus as Lord, in word or in charity.

These four central dogmas of Jesus’ mother — her divine moth­erhood, her perpetual virginity, her Immaculate Conception, and her Assumption — reveal the unique role Mary of Nazareth played in God’s plan of salvation. However, they also point to how Mary continues to play an important role in the life of the Church and of all believers.

The Exorcism of Clara Germana Cele

Clara Germana Cele was a South African Christian girl, who in the year 1906, was said to be possessed by a demon.

Clara was an orphan and a pupil at St Michael's Mission in Natal, South Africa she had been baptised and was religious. When Clara was 16-years-old she was said to have become possessed after making a pact with Satan (information she later revealed). In a nun's testimony of the event, Clara was said to be able to speak languages of which she had no previous knowledge. This phenomenon was also noted by others who recorded that she understood Polish, German, French and Norwegian among other languages. It was also stated that Clara had an extrasensory perception, or clairvoyance, and revealed intimate secrets of people she had had no previous contact with. Furthermore, Clara demonstrated extraordinary strength and would make strange noises which sounded like a 'herd of wild beasts orchestrated by Satan had formed a hellish choir.' Further accounts attribute even more inhuman powers such as levitating 5 feet into the air.

Two Roman Catholic priests were appointed to perform an exorcism on Clara, it lasted for two days. During the exorcism, Clara attempted to choke one of the priests and showed initial resistance however at the end of the exorcism, it was said the demon was banished and she was healed.

Clara reportedly went on to live a demon free life and died in 1912 from heart failure.

The courts can expose the reality of what happened in the July unrest

President Cyril Ramaphosa says the courts should be able to provide clarity on what really transpired in Phoenix in Durban in July last year in which 36 people died. Ramaphosa was giving testimony at the South African Human Rights Commission’s (SAHRC) hearing probing the July unrest on Friday and said government regretted what had happened.  Police Minister Bheki Cele previously told the…

Hi i love your royal trio content so much. I love the go away goro-senpai comic SO much. I just wanted to share something i kinda interpreted about it:

Akechi wants Sumire, and her opinions and thoughts, not Kasumi’s right? And I think by her basically telling him to fuck off, that’s what Sumire feels right there! And she’s telling him that, not Kasumi! Akechi knows he went to far (while trying to care for her in his own fucked up way of course), but also would be happy to know that Sumire did speak her mind and what she wanted, not what Kasumi wanted yknow?

Just my interpretation, but wow you are an amazing artist and thank you so much for your amazing content. It makes my day everytime i see your art!

HELLO OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH///////////// THA{NK U FOR LIKING MY ROYALTRIOS HEEHEHHE and omg i LOVE that comic so much too....

here's the link for anyone that wants 2 read:333

YESSS YES THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING FOR he was Trying to provoke her (subconsciously) in a way.. to bring out sumire rather than kasumi :')) so even tho he retroactively feels bad for hurting her (disregarding her grief abt her sister) it Is good for sumire.. in the end....... even tho it hurts. which just rlly shows how akechi chooses to deal w things which HURTS ME GREATLY /POS AHEHHEHEH IM RLLY GLAD MY 'STORY' CAME ACROSS CLEARLY BC U GOT IT RIGHT DOWN TO A T

thank you so so much again for your kind msg!!! IM SO GLAD YOU ENJOY MY ART // THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY/NIGHT <333

Danganronpa: Another IF (Chapter 3, Part 3, finale)

            “Let’s begin with a simple explanation of the Class Trial~!” Monokuma gushed excitedly, but was abruptly cut off by Mondo.

            “We know how it fucking works by now! Get it right, and only the murderer gets offed… Get it wrong, and we’re boned.” His hand twitched in annoyance. “Let’s just get on with it already! You rushed our investigation as-is!”

            Though he didn’t say it, Mondo obviously had a favorite suspect in mind already. He and Leon both. Fujisaki appeared nervous, and Junko looked unsure. Celes looked frustrated, and the other four kept a stoic, thoughtful silence. Monokuma flippantly waved his hand at the biker.

            “Okay, okay, speedster! We can get to the good stuff! Get crackin’ about the murder weapons already!”

            Kirigiri had her arms crossed as she eyed the monochrome bear suspiciously.

            “Actually, before we get to talking about the murders themselves, I would like to go over Celestia’s plan and testimony one more time. Her murder plot is just one piece of the puzzle, but it will serve as a solid base from which to discuss the various aspects of this case.”

            Monokuma just huffed stubbornly.

            “Fiiine! I’m a patient bear! We’ve got all the time in the world to go over this atrocity…!” Monokuma held up a clawed paw furiously, quivering in anger. They all knew he wasn’t talking about the murders, but about a certain other aspect.

            “You’re really not…” Leon groused as he combed a hand through his wild mane of hair.

            As Celes felt all eyes turn to her, she sighed as she placed her hands on her hips and looked off to the side, toward Fujisaki.

            “I suppose I’ll go over it step-by-step… At approximately 2am, Yamada and I lied in wait for Leon in the rec room. While he was distracted by me, Yamada snuck up behind him and knocked him out. We then placed him in that atrocious Justice Robo costume, and had him pose with Yamada to make it look like he was being kidnapped while I snapped a picture… We then stored him in the locker in the swimming pool area, to be found later when we investigated the would-be murder of Togami.”

            Leon snarled at the gambler.

            “I still don’t get why you picked me! Why’d you have to try and frame me?!”

            Celes rolled her eyes, still not looking at the baseball star, who was standing to her immediate left.

            “I already explained… Out of everyone, you were an easier mark. Even Makoto appears to have more brain cells than you do.”

            “What’d you say?!” Leon screamed, but was cut off by Makoto.

            “You already told me during the investigation, but do you mind explaining why you guys targeted Togami?”

            Celes nodded in acknowledgement.

            “He was planning to commit a murder, and I did not need his plans to interfere with my own. The reason the Genocide Jack case file was missing? He took it. Makoto can confirm he found the file in Togami’s room. His plan was to lure any curious individual to the library’s archives, and then kill them while making it look as if Genocide Jack was responsible. After all, Togami had made that bold declaration there was proof within that file that one of us is Genocide Jack.”

            Mondo growled.

            “I call bullshit on that! You probably just planted that file in his room while we were all still sleepin’! The damn morning announcement didn’t go off, after all!”

            “Except Togami’s room key was on him when we investigated his body…” Kyoko pointed out. “And we are getting ahead of ourselves. Celes, please continue your testimony.”

            Leon held up a hand.

            “Hold on… Mondo might be on to something, y’know? ‘Cause I was the one that pointed out the file was missing in the first place, and Togami never did anything to me!”

            Sayaka hummed thoughtfully.

            “We’re only guessing at Togami’s potential plans right now. For now, let’s just listen to Celes’s story, and pick it apart later after we hear it in full.”

            “After stuffing Leon in the locker…” Celes continued on despite the baseball star’s frustrated growl. “We waited and prepared until 6am, when Yamada was supposed to meet with Togami. Yamada was supposed to meet him in the physics lab’s prep room, and then come report to me when he’d succeeded. Theoretically, after Togami was killed and you all woke up, we were going to have you all run about with us, looking for ‘Justice Robo’. Yamada was going to feign getting killed, and then while I kept you all distracted, he was going to move Togami’s body to the art storage room, where I would then kill him. I had promised that during the time he moved Togami’s body that would be the time I committed my murder, but he had no idea I had planned to stab him in the back.” 

            Fujisaki stared at the gambler tearfully.

            “Wh-Why…? Why would you have him murder someone, and then murder him in turn?! That’s too cruel…!”

            Now Celes’s gaze fell to the floor and away from Fujisaki’s tear-stained face. It was easy enough to deduce why she planned the murder the way she did. Had she really kept her word, it was going to be easy to point the finger at Yamada, and consequently her in turn because she captured that photo of him and Justice Robo. But by killing her co-conspirator, it would just be like re-discovering the bodies, and little to no suspicion would fall on her, because she would have an “alibi” while she ran around with them.

            Makoto voiced this reasoning out loud, and Celes refused to lift her gaze up to meet any of their faces. Contrary to how it looked, she actually didn’t feel guilt over coming up with a scheme for murder. Her dream would not allow her to stay cooped up in this damn school, and everyone’s over-the-top antics were grating on her last nerves. She needed to escape, and camaraderie had done nothing to solve their problems. Two murders had already happened; it was only a matter of time before another occurred, and Celes would not allow herself to be in danger any longer.

            … The gambler shoved down the sliver of guilt she felt for throwing away Naegi’s life along with the rest, or at least she tried to. Interacting with him during the investigation had been… quite interesting. She was reminded of why she had grown closer to him than any of the others.

            “Okay, so where did it go wrong?” Junko asked the question that was on some of their minds. “You said Yamada didn’t come to meet with you, so what’d you do?”

            Celes ground her teeth as she kept her eyes averted.

            “I waited. Twenty minutes at most. Yamada was a fool, but he had the strength to slay Togami. Even if Togami resisted or attempted to escape, Yamada would have overpowered him. When twenty minutes had passed, I felt something had gone wrong. So, I went up to the physics lab’s prep room to check, and he wasn’t there. Neither was Togami. I went to check the art storage room as well…”

            Mondo held up a fist and bore his teeth in aggravation.

            “Hold on…! You’ve got no proof you found an empty room! You’re probably just sayin’ that to cover your ass!”

            Celes rolled her eyes again, but seemed calm for some reason.

            “I figured you would continue to doubt, Oowada… This is why I took pictures of the rooms as I found them before returning to my search for Yamada…” As she said this, she brought out Yamada’s camera. The one she used to capture Yamada’s fake kidnapping. Naegi’s eyes widened, as she hadn’t mentioned having such pictures during the investigation; he’d even asked to see the camera, but she refused, saying it was unrelated to the murders.

            It just went to show how cautious the gambler was, even with people she had grown close to…

            The first picture shown after the fake kidnapping was the physics prep room. As Celes had testified, there were no bodies there, not even rope dangling from the ceiling or anything. It was just an empty prep room, though Naegi also noticed how the trolley and bloodied blue tarp were missing. If his and Maizono’s investigation of the art supply room was correct, then the trolley and tarp would still be in the next picture. They seemed like tools you would keep in an art supply room, anyway – to transport sculptures and other art pieces.

            Also, with how messy the room was, a struggle had clearly taken place there.

            “Huh…?” The Luckster couldn’t help let out when the next picture was shown. Celes nodded in seeming understanding.

            “Yes… the state of the room caught me off-guard as well…” She was abruptly cut off when the Luckster shook his head.

            “No, not the state of the room. It was like that when Sayaka and I found it, yeah – but where’s the trolley? And the tarps?” There were two tarps, as his memory recalled. But both those and the trolley weren’t present in the photo Celes took of the supply room.

            That seemed to make the gambler freeze up. Apparently, she hadn’t noticed that…

            “See?!” Mondo bellowed. “She fucking…!”

             Kirigiri held up a hand, quieting the biker.

            “The way the room is… Naegi, Maizono, was it exactly as you found it?”

            They both nodded.

            “Yeah… Except for the ropes still being on the shelf, the room looks exactly as we found it.” The Luckster mused. “I remember lifting up those canvases and putting the hammers back on their hangers…”

            “The other art supplies, too… The brushes, cups… everything looks the same…” Sayaka also mused. That room had been painful to comb through, and even then, they only turned up a few clues, like the fact the hammer that had presumably ended Yamada’s life, and the rope hanging Togami had come from there. There were also shards of glass under one of the canvases, which looked like they came from reading glasses. Since Yamada and Togami both had shattered glasses, it was possible either one of them was killed in the art supply room, and then moved to the physics lab’s prep room. With the missing trolley, it was looking like Yamada was killed there and transported somewhere else before eventually being moved to the prep room, where he and Togami were both found.

            The way the crime scene was arranged in the physics prep room, Togami was hanging from a noose dangling from the ceiling, though there was a length that ran all the way down to Yamada, with him holding onto the other end, making it look like he had killed Togami in his final moments. Yamada was in a pool of his own blood, and a “Justice Hammer #4” was lying near the corpses, implying Togami had struck the otaku before Yamada gained the upper hand and hung him by the rope.

            That’s what it was made to look like, but no one was buying the story Yamada and Togami killed each other. It was too convenient.

            “I see…” Kirigiri trailed off, appearing contemplative. “As I recall, the trolley was in the far right corner of the supply room. We found it in the prep room when we discovered the bodies, but that does not make me doubt my memory; it was most certainly in that supply room when the third floor opened to us. Which means that at least one murderer removed the trolley before the struggle. Seeing as how Celes did not know about the missing trolley, we can assume she didn’t commit the murder in the supply room.”

            A vein pulsed on Mondo’s head.

            “Are you fucking kidding me?! What if Yamada removed it, and she just didn’t know or forgot about it?!”

            “It wasn’t in the prep room, either,” Naegi reminded the biker. “And since she was looking for Yamada, I’m pretty sure she would’ve noticed the trolley just lying around in the hall or something.”

            Kirigiri aimed a pointed look at Celes.

            “I sincerely doubt the trolley moved downstairs at any point. That means it was likely hidden in either the rec room, or it was in one of the classrooms. Did you look in those rooms before going back downstairs?”

            Celes nodded stiffly.

            “Since the rec room has a window that allows you to see in, I did not physically enter that room; but no one was in it, as far as I could tell. I looked in the classrooms, but no one was in either room… The trolley was not in the classrooms, so it was likely in the rec room, behind the pool table. I did not have a good view of that side of the room from the window.”

            Kirigiri was cupping her chin contemplatively, and Mondo and Leon were both voicing their suspicions about the gambler. Junko hummed obnoxiously to get all of their attention.

            “What about the locker?”

            “The… locker…?” The gambler trailed off in bemusement.

            “In the rec room.” Junko clarified. “You said no one was in there, so was the locker open or closed? It’s big enough to fit someone.”

            … Or a body, Naegi, Sayaka, and Kirigiri all supplied in their heads.

            “It was… closed.” Celes frowned. Based on her reaction, she did not take a picture of the rec room as she found it. She was now regretting not thoroughly looking inside, especially after seeing the evidence of a struggle in the supply room. “However, I will say this: Yamada was alive when I went back downstairs to his room.”

            Naegi cocked his head. He recalled Celes had said that, back when she was helping Leon out of that costume, though she never elaborated on that point.

            “Celes… how do you know he was alive…?” The Luckster couldn’t help asking.

            “Because he opened his room a crack, and I heard his voice.” Celes responded exasperatedly. “I saw the gleam of his glasses, and it was most certainly his voice. It was terrified. He claimed he had narrowly escaped Togami, and that he would not be coming out until morning. He then slammed the door, and I could not get him to come out.”

            “So… it was Togami who was murdered in the supply room?” Leon asked uncertainly. “Why would Tubs lie to you about that, if killing Togami was the plan???”

            “There’s a more pressing matter.” Kirigiri interjected again. “Celes, can you remember if the cameras for the rooms were intact when you were looking for Yamada? Was destroying them ever a part of your murder plan?”

            That was another point that had come up during the investigation. All of the third floor’s cameras were broken, as were the cameras in both Yamada and Togami’s rooms. That was the real source of Monokuma’s ire, though he would only grudgingly admit it. For some reason, he had never witnessed the person who had busted up all of the cameras – the monochrome was tight-lipped about it, though Kirigiri wagered the mastermind had been preoccupied at the time, and somehow someone realized and took advantage of the distraction.

            “No, the cameras were never part of the plan…” Celes huffed before nodding grudgingly. “And yes, the cameras were indeed destroyed when I got up there. I could never forget how odd that was. If Yamada had destroyed them, I could not help but feel that he had a death wish.”

            “You better not be lying about that…!” Monokuma growled murderously. “The point of this trial is also to weed out the rulebreaker who broke all those cameras! It makes me so mad!!!”

            Kirigiri nodded indulgently.

            “If we assume the cameras were never part of Celestia’s plan for murder, and if we take her word that Yamada and Togami’s corpses were missing… then that really only leaves Togami as a suspect for the broken cameras. We know nothing about his movements during the night because he trusted no one, and most of us apparently stuck with the nighttime curfew that Celes enacted.”

            “There’s also the nameplate swaps.” Makoto pointed out, making all eyes turn to him again. “His, Junko’s, and Celes’s nameplates were all swapped on their doors. With Celes’s plate on his door, Yamada would have gone to Togami’s room. Hypothetically, let’s say Togami never showed for the 6am meeting in the prep room; what, then, would Yamada have done?”

            Fujisaki bit his lower lip.

            “Probably return to Celes’s room after a bit… He wouldn’t have waited around for Togami forever.”

            Celes hissed in frustration.

            “And if that idiot saw the nameplate swap, he would have known right away something was wrong… and would have confronted Togami.”

            “But then why go back up all the way to the supply room?!” Mondo demanded.

            “Maybe… he put the hammer back up there…?” Sayaka proposed. “There’s no point in lugging around a murder weapon, especially from the third floor to the first floor. That raises too many alarm bells, especially if someone breaks curfew and sees you with it.”

            Leon crossed his arms in frustration and cocked his head.

            “So, what? He did that whole ‘confrontation’ thing without a weapon, and then he just… ran back up to grab it? That’s just stupid, even if Togami was out for blood.”

            Naegi shook his head.

            “I think… Togami might have scared Yamada into doing that.” He held up a pair of scissors, some people recognizing them. “These were in Togami’s room, and they weren’t hidden away or anything. If he put on some murderous act, Yamada definitely would’ve ran back up to the third floor to grab a bigger weapon.”

            Junko froze as she saw the scissors.

            “H-Hold on…! Didn’t those belong to Fukawa?!” She recalled finding those in Fukawa’s room, back in the first investigation.

            Celes nodded in confirmation.

            “Not only that, but they were portrayed in the Genocide Jack case file as weapons that hung up his victims in crucifix form… So we could make the deduction Touko Fukawa was, in fact, Genocide Jack.”

            Mondo growled angrily.

            “Did Togami steal those fucking scissors after the investigation?! That bastard…! He was really gonna murder!”

            Kyoko frowned.

            “Even if we assume Yamada was scared into going back up to the third floor, why wouldn’t he flee back to his room instead…? The distance would have been much shorter.”

            Leon rolled his eyes.

            “If he was terrified of Celes, too, he wouldn’t have backed down from doing his part of the plan…” He did not flinch from the annoyed look Celes sent him. She didn’t deny it.

            “So Togami pursued Yamada up to the supply room, probably having broken all those cameras beforehand…” The Luckster mused. It would’ve been really hard to murder Yamada, move his body so Celes wouldn’t find him, and then break all the cameras in under fifteen minutes. At the very least, the cameras had to have been broken beforehand. “They struggled, then Togami wrestled the hammer away, and…”

            … dealt the killing blow.

            “That still doesn’t make any damn sense!” Leon groused. “We didn’t see any blood in that photo of the art room, even with all that mess! And besides, didn’t Celes say she heard Yamada’s voice?”

            Naegi instantly shot that misunderstanding down.

            “Remember the voice changer we found in Yamada’s room? It was something from the school store, and Junko tried it out.”

            “It did sound an awful lot like Yamada!” Junko remembered. It was so strange, considering it was in Yamada’s room, and it was set to sound like him.

            “Plus, Celes never ‘saw’ Yamada… only heard his voice, and saw the gleam of his glasses.” Kirigiri pointed out, not needing to remind everyone that Togami wore glasses, too. If the room’s light was turned off purposely, then of course Celes would have just assumed she was speaking with Yamada.

            All they had at this point was theories, however. No concrete evidence to back them up. Celes’s photos, Genocide Jack’s case file and scissors, all of them were circumstantial. If Celes could fake a kidnapping picture, then she could fake the other pictures as well. Not to mention, it would have been a simple task of returning Togami’s key to his body all after the evidence was planted…

            But there was a reason Kyoko kept having them pursue this line of thought.

            “Alright, so Togami could have killed Yamada…” Mondo conceded spitefully. “But what about the bastard himself?! He didn’t just commit fucking suicide! No fucking way!”

            “He died by hanging, right? That’s what the Monokuma File said, anyway.” Leon supplied nervously. “I know I didn’t friggin’ hang him, ‘cause I was stuck in a costume that whole damn time…!”

            “Yet I wonder if Celes would have had the physical strength to subdue Togami and hang him…” Sakura had her arms crossed and eyes closed.

            “If she could swing a fucking hammer around, she coulda hung the bastard!” Mondo asserted.

            Junko rolled her eyes.

            “But right now we’re assuming Togami killed Yamada, dumbass…”

            “Are you all certain Togami died from hanging?” Kirigiri asked critically, which got some strange stares from those who’d been commenting so far.

            “Well, yeah… The Monokuma File shows it clearly!” Leon pointed out.

            “He did not die from external wounds…” Sakura concurred. “And if his neck was broken, he would have slipped out of the noose…”

            “Or at least looked more friggin’ awkward than what we saw… His head ‘n neck looked all natural…” Mondo grimaced.

            Makoto’s eyes widened.

            “Don’t tell me…! He died by strangulation!”

            Kyoko smirked at the Luckster’s insightfulness.

            “Very perceptive, Makoto… Togami was indeed strangled, not hung by that noose!”

            “What’s the difference?” Leon scratched his head.

            Fujisaki poked his index fingers together nervously.

            “Th-The rope is damaged differently when someone is strangled instead of hung… It becomes more frayed.”

            Celes, having been with Leon, Junko, and Sakura when they split up to search the prep room and Yamada’s room, narrowed her eyes.

            “So the rope was used to strangle Togami… But what does that tell us?”

            Sakura shook her head.

            “That rope was not used to strangle Togami. It shows no signs that it was used in that way…”

            Everyone froze as Sakura pointed that out. Only Makoto, Sayaka, and Fujisaki had investigated the third and first floors, and none of them had investigated the bodies, leaving Kyoko to inspect them. How had…?

            “Sakura…? How did you know the rope…?” Makoto trailed off, taken aback.

            Sakura frowned.

            “The crime scene photo in the Monokuma File…” And then she froze when she let that slip.

            There was no photo in the Monokuma File this time. Due to the cameras being busted, they only had information that was written out in text, and even that was limited. Those on the first floor during the first investigation only knew about the details Makoto and Sayaka had been able to tell them since Fujisaki had been tasked with checking out which camera units were destroyed; and neither the Luckster nor the singer had mentioned the rope in much detail.

            “I can confirm Togami was not strangled with that rope,” Kyoko was smirking again. “There were signs that someone strangled him with bare hands, and that takes an amazing amount of strength to do, especially with how subtle the signs were. An amateur who was simply trying to do the act of strangling would have left more visible handprints; but someone strong enough who knew what force to exert without leaving much evidence…” That left a very small handful of people, and Makoto suspected Kyoko had been targeting Sakura since the beginning.

            The Ultimate Fighter would have had the knowledge and experience to do as the lilac-haired girl described.

            “… Yet you do not have proof that I was up and about prior to 8am.” The fighter asserted shrewdly. She and Kyoko had been among the first to meet up in the cafeteria; a 1-2 hour gap between Yamada’s possible murder was still a long length of time.

            Naegi winced sympathetically.

            “Actually… I just might.” He pulled out a crumpled note that had neat handwriting on it. It clearly relayed the message to meet in the physics lab’s prep room at 7am. “I found this in Togami’s trashcan… And while I can’t say it was you who wrote it, Sakura, I can say this basically confirms our theories up until now. Togami destroyed the cameras, murdered Yamada, and then tricked Celes into believing he was still alive. He must have received the note after Celes stopped trying to get ‘Yamada’ to come out. Celes, would you say you were back in your room by 7am?”

            The gambler nodded tentatively. She explained how it was past 6:30am when she returned to her room.

            “And in that time, I did not see Sakura enter or exit her room…” She added, which pointed out that Sakura was either out and about… or their culprit was someone else.

            Kyoko shook her head and smiled wryly.

            “If we have a note, all I would need is for everyone to supply a handwriting sample. Then we can know who killed Togami.” She eyed Sakura challengingly. “Well? Will you feign ignorance to the end?”

            For several tense moments, Sakura and Kyoko stared each other down before the fighter closed her eyes and sighed resignedly.

            “… There will be no need for a writing analysis. I strangled Togami with my own hands, and set up the scene as you see it.”

            Monokuma howled in frustration.

            “Alright, alright…! Let’s get to voting time already! Who will be the Blackened? Will you be right, or oh so wrong? Hmm, what will it be?” Monokuma’s tone was very sarcastic, conveying his dissatisfaction of the turn of events.

            They all voted accordingly, and… they voted correctly for the third time. The slot machine portrayed triple faces of Oogami, and it spat out Monokuma Coins in celebration. After the theatrics were over with, Monokuma stood up, hands behind his back as he gave a depressed sigh.

            “Yep, yep… Byakuya Togami killed Hifumi Yamada, and he in turn was killed by Sakura Oogami. Maaan, this sucks!”

            Leon stared at the Ultimate Fighter in utter disbelief.

            “You’re serious?! Laidback Oogami was the crazy killer, and looney Celes is innocent?!”

            That got an angry hiss from the gambler, which he shrank back from.

            “Looney, am I…?”

            “Wh-Why?! Why did you kill, Sakura?!” Fujisaki asked with tears streaming down his face again. He couldn’t believe another of their friends… stooped to murder…

            “That… is a very difficult question to answer.” Sakura grimaced. She looked to Monokuma for permission to reveal it, and he just waved her off in annoyance.

            “Go ahead! You already ruined the game this much! Might as well tell them eeeverything!” The bear huffed angrily before plopping back down on his throne moodily.

            “… My dojo is being held hostage.” Sakura revealed to her classmates. “And yet they are not the reason I soiled my hands… In fact, had everything gone accordingly, I would have murdered the Mastermind after the second trial… But… they turned the tables on me, and instead of my dojo, they used all of you as leverage over me. Monokuma promised that if I did not commit the next murder, you would all die. My hands were tied. I had to commit at least one murder.”

            “And so you went after the one person that didn’t get along with the rest of us…” Kyoko deduced, cupping her chin thoughtfully. Sakura nodded in acknowledgement.

            “The Mastermind was clearly using heavy-handed tactics to achieve their goals, but there was naught I could do. I had to back down or you all would have died in your sleep.”

            The monochrome bear raised a claw threateningly, red eye flashing brightly.

            “And because of you, Togami obliterated an entire floor of cameras…! A whole floor gone dark! That’s going to be such a pain in my ass!!!” The bear howled in frustration.

            Sakura sighed as she shook her head wearily.

            “I pleaded with him one last time, early this morning. I had no idea that both Celes and Togami were making their respective moves, but I did know they would be attempting murder soon. Things were going to come to a head if I did not act… and Hifumi, he died because I wasted my breath. Had I killed Togami sooner, he would still be with us, and the rest of you would be spared.”

            Sayaka shook her head firmly.

            “It’s… It’s not your fault, Sakura!! Monokuma clearly threatened you into committing murder! This isn’t some ‘coliseum’ anymore! He interfered with both the last murder and this one!”

            Monokuma growled dangerously at the singer.

            “Care running that by me again, missy?! Ishimaru and Sakura both took matters into their own hands! I just gave them… a little nudge…” He then giggled darkly. “And to top it off, Togami and Miss Ludenberg were raring and ready to go, too! Ah, if only I’d waited to see how that played out~… The Togami heir versus the King of Liars herself! That would’ve been a spectacular showdown for the ages!”

            Mondo yelled at the bear’s amusement, kicking the stand he was at in fury.

            “You sick bastard…! When I get my hands on you, this ‘game’ ‘s gonna be over so fast…!”

            Monokuma scoffed, not even shooting him a glance.

            “The Killing Game will never end! You’re so naïve, Mondo!” Crossing his arms stubbornly, Monokuma shook his head from side to side. “Well, since Sakura’s said her piece, I think it’s time to let her rest in piece…s~! Upupupu!”

            Junko paled.

            “Y-You don’t mean… execution?!”

            Monokuma cackled.

            “Those are the rules! Commit a murder and get caught, and only you will be executed! Them’s the breaks~…”

            Sakura clenched her fists stubbornly.

            “I will not… go as easily as you want me to… I will fight to the bitter end!”

            “Oh, I’m counting on it, dearie~ You’re gonna save your pals one last time! And if one or two dies with you, well… That’s what you get for boring me, y’know!”

            Sakura’s eyes widened at the implications of those words.

            “What are you…!?” But it was for naught. The red button had already appeared by Monokuma’s throne.

            “IIIT’S PUNISHMENT TIIIME~!” Monokuma cheered, smacking the button with his gavel.

            In the next moment, everyone was whisked off by collars and chains. Makoto and Sayaka desperately reached out for each other’s hand, but they were too slow, and they got pulled in separate directions, up separate elevators. When they all arrived at their destination, they found themselves in a subway, for some strange reason. Moreover, the eight innocent teens were all bound to wooden posts arranged in a single-file line on some railroad tracks. Back to front, the order went: Celes, Mondo, Leon, Junko, Kirigiri, Fujisaki, Sayaka, and Makoto.

`           Sakura stood in front of all of them, a fair distance down the tracks. She realized right away what she would be forced to do… And the sound of an approaching train, along with the accompanying light, only solidified that sinking feeling. With fierce determination, Sakura charged at the vehicle that was progressing toward the teens with intense speed. The front of it was covered in spikes, and there would be no way for Sakura to handle them safely.

            Plowing into the front, Sakura pushed with all her might and dug her feet into the gravel on the sides of the tracks. The train kept its normal speed for a few seconds before slowing down considerably. But even so, the locomotive was inching closer and closer; spikes had pierced Sakura’s hands, and a large one pierced her abdomen and appeared all the way outside her back. Still, even with her strength fading with the blood loss, Sakura held her ground.

            Closer and closer.

            Slower and slower.

            Makoto winced frightfully, and the others screamed behind him in fear for their friend – Sayaka screamed the loudest. However, the train slowed to a complete stop just before the spike could poke Makoto’s chest. By that point, Sakura was dead, and she was unintentionally bleeding onto Makoto a little.

            But… Makoto was alive. As were all his friends behind him.

            And yet… Sakura Oogami, the Ultimate Fighter… was dead…

Bheki Cele was paid to approve restructuring of Crime Intelligence, claims Hawks investigator

Over the course of two days’ testimony at the Zondo Commission, Hawks investigator Kobus Roelofse has lifted the lid on a cauldron of corruption at South Africa’s State Security Agency. Those implicated thus far as benefiting from the financial abuse of crime intelligence have included current Police Minister Bheki Cele, former police minister Nathi Mthethwa and high-profile journalist Ranjeni Munusamy.

so at this point they’ve figured out that togami staged the crime scene, but someone else is the killer. kirigiri asserts that they can already prove who did it by focusing in on one bit of evidence — well, bit of testimony, it’s celes’ account of having seen chihiro the night before. they ran into each other when chihiro was grabbing some workout clothes before headed to the locker room. naegi doesn’t get how this would prove anything but kirigiri assures everyone the workout clothes hold the key to the whole mystery. during the debate, after she says this, everyone is confused and tries to theorize how the clothes could prove anything. during the ensuing discussion mondo lets slip that chihiro’s tracksuit was blue. That’s what kirigiri is pointing out here, ofc — how could he have known that? the thing is, it’s a gameplay fakeout. We know the tracksuit is blue because we saw a CG of that scene, but naegi doesn’t know the tracksuit is blue, because celes didn’t tell him that detail. celes didn’t tell anyone that detail, so mondo knowing the tracksuit is blue is of course evidence he met chihiro that night, and it’s the weak point you have to counter during the debate even though he’s not actually wrong, he just revealed his hand on accident.

idk, i like when the disconnect between the player character and the player gets underlined by letting the player know something the protagonist doesn’t, and then forcing you to think about that disconnect — that’s always fun imo. also just an excellent kirigiri moment i really do love her a lot. she is so cool

ohohohoho okay this is my favorite debate segment yet. this is clever. hang on let me explain

McBride stained to reject his state capture proof – DAs Kohler Barnard

The Portfolio Committee on Police wanted to tarnish the name of former Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) head Robert McBride so that his testimony before the state capture commission would be disregarded, DA MP Dianne Kohler Barnard charged on Thursday.

But ANC MP Jerome Maake countered that the opposition should leave the ANC to sort out its own problems between “fellow comrades”.

Kohler Barnard’s comments came after the National Assembly adopted a Portfolio Committee on Police report on Thursday, which recommended that McBride’s contract as executive director of IPID not be renewed.

Introducing the report, committee chairperson Francois Beukman said the crux of the matter was that McBride entered into a contract for five years and that contract didn’t include a renewal clause. 

“There is no dispute about this,” Beukman said. 

He said it was  also important to note that the IPID Act said the executive director’s contract could be renewed for another term but wasn’t clear on the process that had to be followed to renew it.

He pointed out that McBride wasn’t removed from the post but that the decision was to not renew his contract.

Kohler Barnard, as is her wont, didn’t mince her words.

‘Angry at the level of crime’

She described the committee’s process as a bus that driven “over the cliff of partisan non-accountability”.

“I have worked with various committees during my 15 years in this House, I’ve stood here on the podium many times, usually angry at the level of crime, corruption and criminality in the SAPS (SA Police Service) and at the poor working conditions of our SAPS members,” she said as ANC backbenchers howled.

“But what I have never been, is desperately ashamed to belong to what I have until recently believed is one of the premier committees in Parliament.”

“What we sat through and witnessed was a political party, turning on one of its own on, I believe, on the orders of the minister. So the executive is now determining debate in a committee that according to legislation, oversees that very body. The tail wagging the dog. 

She said she voted against McBride’s appointment. 

“However, Mr McBride pulled up his socks and did a damn fine job.” 

“Our meetings were never about extending Mr McBride’s contract, as allowed in the act or even appointing a new IPID head. They were, I believe, about discrediting Mr McBride so that when all is revealed to the state capture commission, it will be discarded.

“It was so obvious, I shudder to think what the court’s reaction will be when they watch the footage of those three days all but eviscerated the man. He was called a liar, sneered at, he was demeaned. All with no right of reply.” 

“Now that’s the definition of a kangaroo court.”

‘Character assassinated’

Kohler Barnard said the committee also didn’t want to include reference to McBride’s successes in its report.

She said “quite possibly the reason why they now hate him with a visceral intensity rarely seen in Parliament” is because of the cases he investigated.

She said her “favourite” was the case the police’s purchase of a grabber – a device to track cellphones worth around R10m – at an inflated price of around R50m. It is alleged the money was to be used to buy votes at the ANC’s hotly contested elective conference in 2017.

She said when a “cadre does a good job, they’re attacked, character assassinated, they are disposed of”.

“There is usually somebody’s hide that this activity saves.”

She disputed that there was prima facie evidence of misconduct against McBride.

“Claims made against him are not evidence, they are merely allegations.” 

She said the roles of the IPID head and police minister were per definition adversarial.

“What if the next IPID head disagrees with the minister or finds out something he would rather keep hidden? Would you want to remove him too? And the next one too?”

“As I said when I walked out, you should be ashamed of yourselves!” said Kohler Barnard, who left the committee’s deliberations when they did not include McBride’s successes in the report. 

“You’re a disgrace!” DA’s @DKB20 says as she leaves the Portfolio Committee on Police’s discussion of findings in the McBride matter. This after her proposal to include IPID successes in the findings were shot down by ANC. @TeamNews24

NFP MP Munzoor Shaik-Emam said there was “not a single iota of truth” in what she presented to the House. He said she “deliberately misled the House”.

At the end of his speech, House chairperson Thoko Didiza said he must withdraw that, which he did.

Shaik-Emam said McBride knew his contract would not be renewed and he misled the court and the public when he said Cele wrote to him to inform him that his contract will not be renewed, while he wrote to Cele twice to ask him to initiate the process to fill the post.

He said McBride said IPID would suffer if he left, yet he applied for other posts. 

According to Shaik-Emam IPID’s investigations under McBride’s leadership produced “all allegations, no convictions”. 

He said there was clearly a breakdown in the relationship between McBride and Cele.

‘We did it in the Western Cape’

When Shaik-Emam left the podium to return to his seat, ANC backbenchers chanted “Shaik! Shaik!” in the same way they chant “Ace! Ace!” for ANC secretary general Ace Magashule.

ANC MP and whip in the police committee Jerome Maake said: “The aim of the opposition in this House is to take over the government. This is done in many ways, sometimes even by hook or by crook.”

“What this means is you’ve got to remove the ANC in order to rule. Who in the opposition – the DA in particular – has the qualities or capacity or even the bravery to engage in such an impossible and unachievable task?”

“We did it in the Western Cape!” someone in the DA benches chirped. He said the matter was a “simple issue complicated by some people with hidden agendas”.

“In a simple society of honest people, it would simply have been a labour relations issue, which would fall under the law of contracts. 

“But where certain people are involved, it becomes a matter of war, because, for them, it is an opportunity to cause havoc within the ruling party. 

“Madam chairperson, Comrade McBride and Comrade Cele are senior members of the ANC, whether the DA likes it or not.  

“Trying to drive a wedge between ANC members won’t work,” Maake said.

He added that the ANC had its own mechanisms to deal with its own problems.

“We are not to be told by the DA.” 

‘Moegoe’

The committee’s decision was based on the documents before it, he said.

“Of all reasons given, the most important of them was that there was a total breakdown of trust between the two. Which is a fundamental ingredient of working together, which happens anywhere,” Maake said.

“They are fellow comrades. It is, therefore, the duty of our organisation to remedy this situation for the sake of service delivery.”

Maake also said the people in his village said DA leader Mmusi Maimane was a “moegoe”. 

“I tried to defend him, but they said, if you do that, jy’s ook ‘n moegoe (you’re also a moegoe),” he said to laughter from the ANC benches.

“Let the opposition leave us to sort out our own problems.”

“Let the opposition leave the ANC.”

Despite a DA walkout, the report was adopted with 172 votes in favour and five against.

McBride’s contract expired on February 28.
