Trial by Doctors // 121

It was 4 AM on June 13th, 2023 in Nottingham, England when 19-year-old Grace O'Malley-Kumar and 19-year-old Barnaby Webber were walking back to their dorms after a night out celebrating the end of their first year at The University of Nottingham.  As night slowly turned to day, and just a short walk from their final destination, the two were intercepted by a man dressed in all black.  Unbeknownst to them, this encounter was only the beginning of a  deadly rampage that would leave three dead and three more injured… all of it caught on CCTV.
