TALES OF AGONY

THE TRAGEDY OF TWINS

We immediately went to the crime scene where the heinous crime took place. One of the twins died and the other survived. The one who didn't survive to the hand of death is identified as Trixie Majias and the survivor is identified as Camille Majias. And they are twins.

While investigators were investigating Trixie's body, I approached the Majias couple, who were sobbing as they hugged their one daughter, Camille.

"I'm Cason Maximus, I will be the investigator in your daughter's case. Mr. and Mrs. Majias, can I talk to your daughter who survived this crime to get a statement?" I spoke politely to them.

They just nodded at me while crying.

"Camille can you detail to me the whole incident?" I said and started recording our conversation.

"03:00 in the afternoon, while my twin and I were doing make-up, suddenly two armed men entered. One man was carrying a hammer and the other a knife. Their only purpose was to steal but when Trixie shouted, they were scared and panicked. I could see with my own eyes how they stabbed and hit my twin with a hammer, again and again. I tried to stop them but the man pulled my hair and dipped my head in the bathtub water. That's why my hair is wet now. I only escaped their sinful hand when I ran into the room and hid. And I called the police." She was detailing the incident to me.

"Thank you so much for your statement, Camille. Don't worry I will solve this case, that's a promise."

Three days later the autopsy report on Trixie's body came out. It sustained 75 stab wounds and countless hammer blows to the head and fingers that caused her death.

I was also confused by Camille's statement as a survivor, because according to her statement 03:00 pm the thieves entered their house. Police said when they arrived at the crime scene, the victim's blood smelled fishy and the autopsy report showed that Camille died at 01:00 p.m.

And the police added, at 3:30 p.m. the survivor called them for help.  If Trixie dies at 1:00 p.m. why at 3:30 p.m. Camille called for help?

And I was even more confused to find the hammer and knife used to kill Trixie. Because the fingerprint matched the victim's fingerprint.

Maybe Trixie fought before she died but whether I admit it or not I doubt that it is possible that Camille was involved in the murder of her own twin.

So I talked to the Majias couple.

As I look at their family photo, I can see the difference between the two twins. Trixie has a mole on her right cheek and you can also see that she is not very happy. While Camille, on the other hand, has a mole on her left cheek and you can see she is happy.

"Mrs. Majias, can you tell me about the two of them?" I asked.

"Camille is a smart and very kind child and dependable, and Trixie is smart too but her temper is crooked. I will admit I lacked attention to Trixie because I focused my attention on Camille. And I regret it," She sobbed.

Mrs. Majias held my hand and I feel her tremble.

"I-I don’t know how to start but I can feel in my heart the truth. L-Last night I went to Camille's room to check on her condition but I caught her putting on make-up. She smiled at me when she saw me and she called me mommy. So my gut feeling grew," Her voice trailed off as she suppressed a sob.

"What do you mean by increased your gut?"  I asked in astonishment.

"I feel like she’s not C-Camille—"
