The case against two notorious local men who are believed to be devotees of the bizarre cult known as “Slava” which caused havoc in the region last winter, was adjourned for medical reports by magistrates on Friday. Mr. Hugo Volauvent and Mr. Alfonso Lemmings, both of no fixed abode, were found frozen to a car they had been licking. The emergency services were called to the incident in St. Michael’s Lane Alnwick on Wednesday 7th February as temperatures plummeted to -12C. Both men were found attached by their tongues to an Audi A4 saloon owned by businessman Mr. Ludovic Cantle. P.C. Derrick Sickle, who attended the scene, said both men were “in some distress, Mr. Lemmings was stuck to a headlight and Mr. Volauvent was found on all fours on the bonnet of the vehicle with his tongue firmly attached to the windscreen”. The men were removed from the car and taken to Hospital where they received treatment for frostbite and hypothermia. they were later charged with causing criminal damage. Incidents of “Slava” were reported all over the area and many people found their cars badly scratched and covered in saliva. It would seem that this cult is based on the belief that certain cars have a flavor. The Audi A4 is said to taste like Brussels sprouts and many “Slavs” have found it hard to resist. The trial will resume in two weeks time.
