Assassination of Lagéno Erita conspiracy theories

On the 10th of december 1913, Lagéno Erita, leader of Extremist Avaconia was assassinated. The police investigated this and arrested Liávo Ocaldo, but Ocaldo was murdered before he could be investigated in court. Many people of the public did not believe what the government told them, and many theories have emerged because of this.

The cover up theory
The cover up theory is a theory that Erita was assassinated by the police, as a lot of the police do not support Erita, and the police picked Liávo Ocaldo as a fake murderer to cover the incident up. Liávo Ocaldo also used to be in the Avaconian police, so people think Ocaldo was chosen by the police to play as the murderer. The assassination of Ocaldo later was not planned. This theory is the most believed out of all the theories.

The group theory
Some think Ocaldo did murder Erita, but was part of a larger group. When Erita was examined after death, it appeared that one of the bullets entered his body from a different angle. This caused people to belive Ocaldo was part of a larger group, and there was more than one killer. Some people combine this with The Cover Up Theory, and believe more than one police officer shot Erita.

The double-ricochet theory
This was the first theory to emerge. From the crime scene, there are two bullet marks almost alligned with themselves on two nearby trees. The double-ricochet theory believes that Ocaldo, or someone else, shot from where he was thought to by the government, but the bullet missed and hit a tree. The bullet rebounded to a nearby tree and then it hit Erita in the back. Ocaldo then shot another bullet which hit Erita in the front, explaining the different angles of the bullets.
