Vicki Thanks for your explanation.
From Part 12 ...
He had ordered them to hand in their weapons.
Eventually, they had agreed there would be no bloodshed.
Here's what I was thinking - they lied about there being no bloodshed, so it was possible they lied (by omission) and only handed in some of their weapons.
Your thoughts make sense - given what I wrote.
Thanks to you, I can see that it is ambiguous, so I'll make it clearer before it goes to the archive.
Of course, it is also possible that Nor gave them more weapons, but I didn't intend to suggest the suicides were murders.
Knowing murderers are executed promptly, I thought suicide was a reasonable possibility - particularly if they felt they couldn't face their grief over the death of their child.
And Nor, of course, would have encouraged it - to cover the trail back to him.
This incident will be mentioned again - and a little more of Nor's motivation will be explained.
Thanks Vicki
Corrina.
