An English crime show becomes reality in your kingdom (Not-so-useful random event)

Every turn one population unit disappears in each of your cities due to a mysterious murder. When a city's population has been reduced to 1, the remaining population unit is clearly the murderer. It condemns itself to death and hangs itself.

And surprise, surprise, it turns out the remaining population unit is every single butler and maid in the city.

Well, they should pay them better. :) Even so, the most frequent murderers nowadays seem to be stockbrokers, sinister hippies, clergymen with av sexually and religiously induced mania and gamekeepers who have been thwarted in love. And young men who, though bastards, are the rightful owners of the manor. Or the young man's mother, who is the cook, which if course brings us back to your original point.
