Preliminary Investigation Report

 

1204.30

 

Please note that this is preliminary report only and subject to many changes.

 

Victim: Bar'Wir

 

Cause of Death: Murder / Blunt Force Trauma to the Head.

 

Location: Cargo Bay One.

 

Witnesses / Persons of Interest: Cmdr. August Jax Robinson, Lt. Cmdr. Dave Johnson, Misha(guest)

 

Summary of Events:

 

At 23:18 hours I received a call from Security Officer Juan that Cargo Bay 1 had lost power and he requested permission to move the refugees located inside to Rec Lounge 2 until the power came back on. I advised the officer not to move the refugees unless absolutely necessary and instead to install portable lighting in the cargobay until the power was restored.

 

Unbeknownst to me, the decision was made to relocate the refugees to Rec Lounge 2 anyway.

 

Security Officer Juan called for engineering to respond to the power outage around the same time that he called me. Lieutenant Commander Johnson was the initial responder to that call. At 23:20 Johnson contacted me, requesting a security escort while in the cargo bay. I dispatched a second team to the scene to escort him safely. At 23:25 Commander Jax-Robinson joined Johnson in attempting to repair the power outage.

 

Around 23:25 I also headed toward the cargo bay to investigate the disturbance.

 

The cause of the power outage was determined to be a spanner that was jammed into a junction box.

 

At 23:27 one of the refugees (Misha) returned to the cargo bay (without security approval/escort) in an attempt to locate a missing refugee. At that same time I also arrived in the cargobay to notice the power still off and the refugees had been moved.

 

At 23:28 the power was restored. At that time, the refugee Misha screamed and alerted me to the presence of the deceased. (Bar'Wir). The victim appeared to have been killed by Blunt Force Trauma to the Head (possibly caused by the same spanner mentioned earlier). I initiated a security alert at that time and notified the bridge of the situation. I ordered security to secure all guests on the ship and to hold them at their current locations.

 

By 23:35 I had the scene secured and I detained all significant witnesses (Misha, August, Dave) in the brig until statements could be taken.

 

By 23:40 both Medical and Science had arrived to assist with processing the crime scene.

 

 

At this time I currently have no significant leads as to a murder suspect and the investigation is ongoing.

It would appear that Bar'Wir was murdered by one of his fellow refugees and then the power was cut to facilitate the escape of the murderer. (conjecture at this point) Motive is unknown.
