Assassination of Queen Consort Kanata

On October 31, 1983, Queen Consort Kanata was assassinated by a Soviet spy whose goal was to try and overthrow the Minecraftian Royal Family a second time. The suspect, being Dorokhin Vissarion Denisovich, was commanded by Fred Fuchs of the former Shintoist Province and Scarlet Devil of Minecraftia to try and turn Minecraftia from a constitutional monarchy into a communist republic. This was the second regicide and assassination of a member of the Minecraftian Royal Family.

On the day of the attack, King Soujirou and Queen Consort Kanata were celebrating Halloween when Denisovich, disguising himself as a police officer, tried to accuse King Soujirou for the retaliation of airstrikes toward the Soviet Union. Seconds later, he pulled out a revolver and fired it at Queen Consort Kanata, killing her instantly. He missed when he tried to kill King Soujirou and then-Crown Princess Konata, who was only five months old at the time.

Denisovich was arrested at midnight when he tried to flee to Kozankyo announcing he killed the queen. He was charged with one count of regicide and two counts of attempted murder, and he also received charges of being an illegal alien in possession of a weapon and providing material support to SPASDOM. He was tried on November 8, 1983, where he was found guilty and was sentenced to death. He was executed by electrocution on January 13, 1984.
