Can someone rewrite the following correctly into sentence fragments.

Richard III supposedly had the young princess murdered. Found out what really happened to them.

Normally, we do not write into sentence fragments; we try to correct by eliminating them. Your first sentence is a fine sentence (except for the extra 's'-- Richard III murdered two 'princes', not a 'princess'), but the second is a fragment.

You need, for instance, to unite them into a single sentence by deleting the first period, adding the words 'but I have', and then converting the capital 'F' of 'Found' into a lower case 'f'.
