THE REVEREND MALCOLM SLOANE MADE A SHOCKING DISCOVERY Wednesday morning, when the body of an Egyptian man was found lying in a newly-dug grave in  Highgate Cemetery .  Gravediggers had completed their work the previous evening, in preparation for a funeral planned for that afternoon.

Police believe the man to be the 9th victim in a series of slayings that appear to be targeting foreigners in our great metropolis.

Fittingly, the grave was located along " Egyptian Avenue", a magnificent display of Victorian funerary architecture in the style of the Pharaonic catacombs.  Was this intended as a taunt to our Metropolitan Police, whose efforts so far to crack this case have come to nought?

As a public service, The Scoop is offering a reward of £10 for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the perpetrators of this crime.
