	—Case Teaser

Lamb to the Slaughter is a case featured in Criminal Case as the ninth case of The Mystery Continues. It is the third case set in the Crimson Banks district of Concordia.

Plot

Following Sean Flynn's escape into the Italian side of the river, the team received reports of arson prompting Giulietta and the player to head over the river to catch Sean and arrest him for his crimes. When they arrived, however, they were approached by panicked butcher Kristopher Jacksons who confessed that he'd found a body in his slaughterhouse. Inside, they found Sean's body, a meat cleaver stabbed into his head. They first questioned Kristopher on how he found the body before labelling the victim's sister Kayla Flynn and song writer Brendan Mahoney as suspects. Fleur then told them that she knew where the killer got their coffee: the newly re-opened Concordian Pause café. At the café, they suspected café owner Ilsa Truax and athlete Ian Fenton as well as discovering the killer used chloral hydrate. They were then informed by George that Ilsa was vigorously cleaning the café. After confronting and stopping Ilsa, they were able to arrest Kristopher for the crime.

Kristopher quickly confessed, saying he had no choice and had to kill Sean. He recounted how he heard about the other arsons and then spotted Sean sneaking into his butchery, a lit match in his hand. Kristopher quickly realized that Sean planned to set the butchery on fire and the pair started fighting, resulting in Kristopher grabbing a meat cleaver and stabbing Sean in the head, killing him instantly. In court, Kristopher pleaded guilty for the crime but confessed that he had no remorse for killing Sean as it was either him or his livelihood. Judge Oakley then sentenced him to fifteen years in prison for the murder.
