King Duncan Murdered!

The night before last was the craziest night in living history, with screaming owls, wailing winds and, some even say, earthquakes.  Yesterday itself was dark as night, and we recieved word from Lord Ross that King Duncan's best horses broke out of their stalls and ate each other.  The reason for all this madness?  King Duncan himself has been murdered!

Who could have done this terrible thing?  The answer at first seemed to be the late king's own guards, as they were found asleep and covered in blood, clutching bloody daggers.  The sight so enraged Macbeth, Thane of both Glamis and Cawdor, that he slew them.

It is now thought that the guards were framed by King Duncan's own sons, who have fled the country.  Macbeth is to take their place as Duncan's heir, the new king.
