Murder Behind Bars is the eleventh and last fanmade case in the Countryside district in PetersCorporal's fangame.
Characters Introduced
- Octavius Keys (Prision guard)
- Zachariah Loas (Townville Mayor)
Case Background
The victim was Rico Marchi, a prisoner who was found dead in his cell with striped marks in his face. His killer pushed him against the bars of the prison cell to kill him.
The killer was Steve Zasts. When he was paradoxically arrested in Townville Prison, he said he only wanted freedom and loneliness. Killing Rico would guarantee him being alone, and acting crazy during the investigation would make the Judge think he was crazy, and therefore he couldn't be punished for his crimes. He said that he did hate Rico, because he hated him for killing Cecilia. However, Steve said that he'd killed Facondo, so it wasn't a reason to be angry at him. This proved that all the time that he'd been saying illogical things to the player and Evan, he was just faking it so that everyone thought he was really crazy. In reality, Steve was crazy but he'd started saying many things that didn't make sense to seem even more insane.
At the trial, Judge Gonzalez said she couldn't let Zasts free as he had comitted two murders. He also mentioned that if he got shared confinement, he would be able to commit a third murder. Thereby he was sentenced to life imprisonment in a psychiatric institution in solitary confinement.
After the trial, the Chief and the Townville mayor said that the Countryside was small for two great officers. This meant that they were getting promoted to the Commercial Area district.
