I asked this question 3 years ago

but with new people here maybe it is time to ask it again.


the question is -

If you had illegally dispose of a body how would you go about it?

I will give points for both creative and practical ideas but take points away if we find problems with your plan.

I don't remember answering this before. I would go to a local cemetery, find a fresh grave and bury the body in there.
 
There was one episode of a British mysteries in which someone disposed of a body using that method but I can't remember which TV series. It might have been something Robson Green was in but I am not sure about that.

The body ended up being found. The guy had been buried alive in his grandfather's (?) or father's grave (?) grave. If I remember correctly the two serial killers were nihilists. If anyone can tell me what show this I would appreciate it.

I must've missed it the last time you asked this question - it's one I've often asked myself.

The thing is: even if you had a perfect plan (there is such a thing!) to rid yourself of a corpse, you probably won't be in a position to implement it once you're in the situation of having one you need to get rid of.
 
I like the Dexter method. Wrapped in plastic head to toe. Weighted with bricks to keep the body down after being tossed off the side of a boat, deep at sea.
 
The ones that seem to go undiscovered seem to involve concrete and a construction site, which probably means I need some mob connections to get it done. I suppose I could try dissolving them in hydrochloric acid, but who has the time these days?

But remember what happened in the second season of Dexter.
 
A good meat grinder, something heavy duty that will crush bone, and a kennel with some hungry dogs. Or you could use it for chum and do some fishing.
 
Alidar Jarok, great minds think alike. I was just thinking that my plan would involve either a strong batch of HCL or a cement mixer. Maybe both.

I'll go with a couple of TV Hitchcock standards, rolled into one.

The biggest part of killing someone is that you cannot be a suspect, otherwise forensics will get you every time. Blood traces and DNA will rat you out. Establish as tight an alibi as you can, and hope for the best. It is even better if the person just disappears. It's easiest to get away with murder if no murder is suspected.

That done, I would have the body placed in one of those storage bags that you use a vacuum to suck out all the air. This should hold it for a short time without leakage and stench.

Find a kiln, and burn the body. Now this will take care of most of the body, but there will still be some teeth and bone residue left over. You clean out the kiln, and slowly add the ash and reside to hydrochloric acid, which should dissolve most of the trace evidence. Anything left should be washed down a drain, dumped into the sea, or mixed into the garden of a complete stranger.
 
^All very good: acid, fire an' such... and of course the no murder suspected is a good way to go about it (unless you're hoping for cash from an insurance company)... best way to avoid being captured however, is to frame somebody else :p

But that isn't what was asked of us in the OP :(
