Idilane Fasple
Idilane Fasple was a midwife who lived and worked in the city of Urbitane on the planet Sameter. She was one of the victims of a string of serial murders that swept Urbitane in the year 241.M41.[1]
History
Fasple lived in a parlour in an old court-house in Urbitane's mid-rise region. She was last seen alive by her friends on the 4th of Sagittar (by Sameter's local calendar). She was reported missing after failing to turn up for her shift the next day.[1]
Fasple's body was found in the crawlspace underneath the roof of a mid-rise tenement hab two streets away from her residence. The body had been wrapped in a green cloth believed to have been a Guard-standard issue bedroll which had been stapled into place. On examination by the city's Arbites, Fasple's body was found to have been mutilated - its extremities, brain and heart had been removed. In addition, the body had been desiccated by its proximity to the hab's heating vents. One of the roof workers who found the body subsequently committed suicide.[1]
Due to the ritualistic mutilation of the corpse, the Arbites were able to link Fasple's death with a number of others (in particular those of Poul Grevan and Luthar Hewall). Both Captain Wrex and Minister Hansaard believed that the nature of the murders indicated the presence of a heretic cult active in Urbitane. Following an investigation by Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn, however, he determined that the "cultists" were in fact veteran Imperial Guardsmen who, afflicted with severe shellshock, believed that their victims were heretics and executed them.[1]
