Jaya The Cat

On March 11th, the swedish televsion show Efterlyst had a segment with the unresolved murder on our fellow Shockplay user Jaya The Cat in July of 2005 during a vacation in Greece. Richard Markunger was his name and he was one of the pioneers of online Couronne. He was early on one of the best sweepers and an elite player at Shockplay. I found the segment very moving since I considered him a friend of mine at Shockplay and we had spoken just a week or so before the incident. I wish to give my condolences to his family and close ones.

We read what you had written about Richard.

It warms us as parents to hear that he was so liked and skilled at couronne. He really enjoyed it!

He started playing it in the basement when he was only 4-5 years old.

Thanks for what you wrote about Richard.
