“It was just a ramble. I hadn’t meant to kill him. I didn’t even know who he was.” cried the assassin, while being hauled into a police car.
“Andy was bleeding heavily and couldn’t move!” an anonymous eyewitness told us, “We didn’t want to get involved because he was a Royal.”
“We were going to move out of town when we grew up. This wasn’t supposed to happen. He wasn’t supposed to die. He was supposed to be safe with the Royals.” Laura, 15, said in tears
Andy’s parents at the funeral, along with other relatives and friends.

We were in the club, dancing, when Andy left to buy a smoke. He disappeared after that. Laura went to look for him and found him viciously wounded in the alley.” a friend who had been with the couple at the dance club, told us at the funeral.
