I would be opposed to fitting the slope as well as the intercept in your model, because we already only have three points for every fit parameter - and you fit a number of parameters comparable to your number of data points at the peril of talking nonsense...

This actually makes it look worse for Vladimir's hypothesis. The fit is this:
Coefficients: (Intercept) -6.095 Response: log(indicted) - log(casualties) Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) Residuals 5 1.24772 0.24954
