Authorities Yet To Confirm Charges Against Hit Squad

The Crusaders were in action last week when they finally tracked down the team that took the unsuccessful hit on Apex and Anathema in Manchester five months ago. In total ten young mutants were captured by the team near Battersea Power station and handed over to the S.H.I.E.L.D though days later and still arguments are raging as to what the list of charges should be.
The two Crusaders they attacked were both apparently killed, Apex was confirmed dead on the scene and Anathema was reported to have died of his injuries while on the MI13 base. As both of these heroes are alive and active on the streets of Britain can these young assassins be convicted of Murder if no-one is dead?
The Crusaders did not wait around to give interviews and have been uncharacteristically quiet about the capture of so person an enemy to the team. S.H.I.E.L.D would confirm that none of the ten captured were badly hurt and that they were now working on trying to get the paperwork exactly right so that the killers didn't just slip through their fingers.
Though sentencing has increased in speed in the last few years it seems clear that S.H.I.E.L.D have their hands full with the red tape surrounding this case and may need far more than the normal allotted time to make the charges stick. This was confirmed when S.H.I.E.L.D put in an interview extension time on the subjects last night in the hope of finding greater evidence to back charges made. If the court denies them the extension then S.H.I.E.L.D may be forced to set the assassins free if they cannot find charges they feel they can make stick.
