Chapter 349 - The Trial Of The Guilty

When soldiers dressed in protective uniforms and gas masks entered the house, mentioned by Keldan.

They quickly reached the basement and after searching for a while, they managed to find the entrance where they could find the bodies of the 19 women and the 4 girls.

The corpses were completely in a state of putrefaction, although because of the cold of the Island, their process of putrefaction had stopped at a certain point.

All the bodies were quickly identified with the names that had been provided by government officials who had been erasing the names of the women and girls.

After this, the corpses were placed in wooden boxes and taken to the cemetery where they would be buried next to Minerva in that place.

Einar planned to create a memorial in their memory, in which they would mention who were victims of government oversight.

So it would always be a reminder that with human life, there should be no setbacks because people's existence is endangered.

The next day after doing this in the Central Square, the first major judgment of the Nordic nation was held.

Because of the importance of the matter, everyone had been invited to participate in the process that would be carried out against the 45 murderers and rapists.

Due to the nature of what will be done after the trial, parents were forbidden to bring their children, as it would be quite bloody.

Because Einar planned to murder by skinning all the accused, but that was only the beginning, as the punishment of the blood eagle would be used to end their lives.

Later that day, Einar was sitting on a platform in front of him with 47 prisoners who were tied up and lying on the ground.

Around them were thousands of people who were witnessing the event, Einar, so that they could hear them used a metal megaphone.

"Today we are gathered in this sacred court to be able to tell the crimes of these citizens.

Which are blamed for three kinds of crimes, the first of which was to end the lives of 20 innocent women and four innocent girls.

The second is to hide their corpses and eliminate the existence of their existence, using two government officials.

The third crime is conspiring to overthrow the government, doing subversive actions.

With the power conferred on me by the constitution and my right as king of the Nordic nation, I will be the judge of this event.

To begin with, the government will provide the evidence. "

Aila, who was dressed in her high priestess robes of the Christian Nordic religion, stepped forward and holding her megaphone and a blade started shouting.

"As a representative of the 24 murdered women and making use of the testimony of Keldan, one of the members of the group of alleged murderers.

The house of Oleg was investigated, another member of the group of alleged murderers, inside the corpses of 19 women and 4 girls were found.

The names of those women and girls are as follows.

Jolie a 24-year-old woman, Joanna an 18-year-old single mother, her daughter was also murdered, Soleil a 31-year-old woman… "

While the list of names was being listened to, the hatred began to appear in the faces of all the people.

This is because the descriptions after the name gave the presidents somehow a sense of empathy.

Because being able to imagine themselves as victims of those free murderers who could operate with impunity for a long time.

"Last Minerva single mother whose corpse was found in the night, her daughter Norma has been adopted by the Konungar Einar.

How could you listen.

We have enough evidence to prove the crimes each and every one of them committed.

The actions of intimidating their victims and threatening them so that they could not speak were detestable.

But even worse was the action committed by the two members of the government, who failed their bureaucratic vote and sold themselves in order to eliminate the names of these women.

That is why representation of all of them who cannot speak today demands the maximum penalty of torture and death. "

Einar smiled and pointed to the lawyer for the culprits, who was a former Frankish merchant who liked to read.

He volunteered to try to save the guilty, as he wanted to take part in the city's first major trial. "Your honor, I speak on behalf of all my clients.

Respecting the rights of the constitution, I humbly ask what is hidden from them in slavery, since murdering and torturing them is an affront to the individual freedoms of each one. "

Aila just smiled and raised her hand. "Mr. Lawyer, I understand your point of view, but let me remind you that documents and detailed plans on possible uprisings in arms were also found inside the houses of those involved.

According to the Constitution, the right to freedom will be respected as long as no crimes have been committed against the government, since at that time it is a matter of national security. "

The lawyer simply sighed and looked at Einar. "I cannot argue against that law, so the defense will not say anything."

Einar smiled and looked at the 47 defendants in front of him. "After having listened to the two testimonies, I have come to the conclusion that those implicated are found guilty.

Following the suggestion of the high priestess, they are condemned to be skinned alive, to later be executed with the punishment of the blood eagle.

Their corpses will be displayed in disgrace for 3 days. After that, they will be cremated and their ashes will be dumped deep in a volcano.

I consider it disrespectful to dirty the sea or the land with their ashes.

By the power that I have and that the constitution confers on me, he declared that his punishment must begin immediately. "

Einar using his mallet struck the table and hundreds of warriors took their tools to begin the skinning of the guilty while alive.

The screams of those convicted men began to be heard as the entire crowd shouted a series of insults against the guilty.

Einar did not know it, but that day would be remembered in the future for two things, the first that Aila became the patron saint of murdered women.

As well as that, on March 9th the day of skinning would be celebrated, a celebration where the carcass of a chicken was skinned.

To be able to celebrate the death of the murderers of women.

In the case of true assassins, their destiny was to be executed that day as a tradition in all parts of the Nordic nation.
