Polyneices Buried Against Creon's Orders!!

Around 3:00 PM this afternoon, according to our sources, a sentry came running to the palace doors, frantic and out of breath. He carried grave news for Creon, the King of Thebes.  Stuttering and babbling senselessly, the sentry (identity unknown) finally managed to tell his story: Polyneices, the man Creon ordered to be stripped of a burial on account of his acts against his country, had been buried!  As all citizens should know, as it was made quite clear by Creon, the burying of Polyneices was strictly forbidden. Our great king has decided to honor Eteocles for his loyalty to Thebes with a proper burial. But his brother, Polyneices, on the other hand, has rebelled against us, and it is only right that he should not receive such honor or respect.  Enraged, our good King Creon took drastic measures. He ordered the poor sentry to inform him of the person responsible or he would be killed.  The sentry was seen leaving the palace late this afternoon, his face stricken with worry.  Whether this young man has found the culprit or not, is unknown.
This story remains a mystery while the life of an innocent, or maybe not so innocent, man lays on the line.  Please tune in to this evening's paper for more information or visit our website at www.thedailythebes.com.
