Dismemberment case ruled homicide

[Ghostwheel]

"Burkhardt said the victim was male, and was in his 30s or younger. His head, hands, and legs from the knee down were cut off using a sharp object, and have not been recovered, Burkhardt said. An accelerant was used to set the body on fire after death, he said. "

Gee, what was their first clue it was a homicide? Most suicides don't cut off their own heads.... :rolleyes:

I don't think it would be possible physically to sever your own head..

Yeah, DUH hey? I was reading the transcripts from a murder trial in school. A pathologist was on the stand being cross-examined by the defense attorney. He actually asked this question:

So Doctor, are you telling us that Ms. Smith was dead at the time you conducted her autopsy?

:eek:

A few weeks ago a body was found in a suitcase here in Toronto, the Police said it was "supicious" :doh:

ROFL! hmmmm maybe they think the body put itself there.Seriously, it makes you wonder about some of the statements cops make. They aren't stupid, maybe just REAL REAL bad communicators! ( I hope, anyway) LOL!
