Who Done It?

Polyneices the son of Oedipus and nephew of King Creon was found dead two days ago. Although Polyneices was a disappointment to our city, speaking ill of the dead is terrible so this article will refrain from it. After investigation into the case it was learned that Eteocles was the murderer. After a throw down between the two brothers, a winner could not be chosen. The fight killed them both. Polyneices' body was found covered dusted in dirt in an attempt to bury him. This action was obviously against the new law Creon had just created. Only honorable people such as Eteocles were allowed to be buried properly. Therefore, Creon was furious when he learned his other nephew was the body that had been tried to be buried. A sentry took on the job of finding "who done it" at the risk of losing his own life. After careful investigation it was concluded that Antigone, niece of Creon and sister to the dead brothers Eteocles and Polyneices, was the culprit. Antigone had only one thing to say, "They are my flesh and blood. They both deserve proper burials". The fate of Antigone has still to be decided.
