She was found dead in the elevator by the guests in the hotel with the words; ‘I WANT THE DIAMOND’ inscribed on the walls of the elevator with her blood.

“It was a horrible sight”, says one of the guests that saw the murdered woman.

None of the guests at the elevator expected to see a dead body as soon as the door opened. “We were shocked. I myself couldn’t hold my voice in and screamed at the horror of the sight. Who would have expected a murder to happen on a happy day such as a wedding?” says one of the women at the scene who declined to be named.

The security guards at the ground floor didn’t see anyone suspicious entering the hotel before the murder. “Everyone looked so formal. There were so many guests attending the wedding. No one looked suspicious as they walked through the front door, but I did not expect someone to commit a crime at a wedding. To think this would happen during my shift. I am ashamed to be a security guard of this wonderful hotel”, says one of the guards stationed at the front of the hotel.

The hotel manager was surprised that the murderer managed to make a hit-n-run without the security guards nor any of the guests noticing. “I don’t know how this could have happened. The security guards of this hotel are highly experienced when it comes to looking out for suspicious people. There is no way the murderer could have gotten out of the hotel. I’m positive the criminal is still in this hotel. I’m not going to let my hotel lose its great reputation”.

Maison de Lumiere is one of the most well-known hotels in this country. Ever since its launch, there have been no reports of crime until just recently today.

The investigation continues as our city waits nervously for the killer to strike again.
