London, January 14, 2003.  A police officer was stabbed to death during a 
raid in connection with the ricin poison investigation.  Scotland Yard Chief 
Inspector, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, stated that this conclusively proves 
knives are dangerous weapons and kill.  Commencing January 1, 2004, 
possession of knives of any kind will be banned from all of England.  Anyone 
who can prove that possession of a knife is a necessity will have to obtain 
an annual permit from the Queen.

When asked what happened to the wielder of the knife, Gildersleeve stated 
that he was set free as it was the knife that killed, not the wielder.  The 
knife has been taken into custody.
