| A case for pommie CSI: Missing man's severed thumb found on street, murder 'cannot be ruled out' | ||
| 2010-03-16 | ||
| UK police investigating the disappearance of a 41-year-old man said they "cannot rule out the possibility of murder" after his thumb was found in a street. Sky News reported Mahmood Ahmad was last seen leaving his job at a kebab house in Aldgate, London, in the early hours of March 7. There's the reason I don't eat kebabs - mystery meat. A thumb found by a member of the public in Ilford, Essex, three days later has now been confirmed by forensic tests as belonging to the Watford man. Police are treating Mr Ahmad's case as kidnap but said murder could not be discounted. I grew up in Essex and left at the very earliest opportunity. Bad sh!t happens there. Detective Chief Inspector Melanie Burn, from Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire major crime unit, said Mr Mahmood "may well be injured and need urgent medical help". OTOH it may well be too late for even tardy medical help.
But obviously not singing like the proverbial canary. Police have arrested a further four people, one woman and three men, who are being questioned by officers. "You see this thumb? Well we are looking for its matching twin."

An American executive took a job over there, and on his very first day, the newspaper headlines read: "Three Headless Bodies Found". The next day: "Three Heads Found". The third day: "Heads DonÂ’t Match Bodies"." -- The Other Side of Kim |
