In late breaking news, rumours were rife this afternoon that a dead body discovered today near the village of Maskall was that of Kirk “Psycho” Thompson. News 5’s Ann-Marie is in Maskall and while she is still not in clear cell-phone range, she has confirmed that police in Maskall have concluded that a body found floating in the river near the village with a gunshot wound to the head is in fact that of Kirk “Psycho” Thompson. Thompson, the man accused of shooting to death Police Corporal Fernando Rosado, was said to be hiding in the area and a heavy police presence had been seen in Maskall and neighbouring villages. Who killed Thompson is not yet clear, but there were many observers on both sides of the law who predicted that Thompson would not live to see the police station.
