HOMICIDE BRINGS AN ABRUPT END TO THE CELEBRATION
By Mos Entha News staff

Mos Entha, Tatooine -- The most anticipated annual Mos Taike Settlement Day celebration ends in tragedy.  The Mayor of Mos Taike, Gramm Rile, announced the cancellation of the party, following the discovery of a dead body during the firework show.

The Mos Taike Security Force is investigating the homicide of an intergalactic trader, Ooron Paro, whose body was discovered by two unidentified celebration attendees.  The victim suffered one fatal blaster wound in the upper abdomen area. 

Mos Taike residents, business owners and tourists from other parts of the galaxy are enraged at the Mayor's decision. 

"A whole year's preparation has just gone to the gutter!"  An angry tavern owner later told Mos Entha News.  "Is the Mayor going to compensate our loss?"

The authorities have not identified any suspects at this time.
