Best way to dispose of a corpse

[MarillionFan]

Thats why Pogle resorted to stabbity-stabbity-stab - and then pleaded "I wos provoked!!"

Now, stabbity stab on a frozen corpse is not going to be to messy, but a little difficult. An axe would probably be better.

You don't want the corpse to melt as such as this may lead the rozzers to your door because of complaints from neighbours.

I find a plastic sheet, the axe and a chisel to work best.

You know, ummm, hypothetically speaking of course.

I am just glad you don't have a farm with guinea pigs!

I would NEVER harm a piggy!!!

Hydroflouric acid in the amounts required for that would be insanely dangerous to handle, as even a small amount splashed on your skin could to be fatal, due not to the burns but a catalytic reaction discussed here.

I worked in a chem lab at the time, I spent many a happy hour working out the logistics !
We also had a SEM - which gave me the idea about the Liquid nitrogen - happy days

Hypothetically speaking, lets say, you've got a body in the chest freezer in your garage.

Again hypothetically, let's say male, about 6 foot and 180lbs.

What would be the preferred way to dispose of said body without being noticed by the neighbours or getting nicked by the rozzers?

Hypothetically speaking of course...

Freezer + this

Do you have to get rid of it only without anyone getting suspicious, or also avoid leaving any forensic evidence if the police do come looking? That makes many things harder... mincing up and flushing down the loo will leave bits in the mincing machine or the U-bend for instance.

The purpose disposing of a body is obviously getting rid of the body but also to make sure you do not leave any evidence that you disposed of it.

Most of the ways described would leave traces of disposal, even acid which produces a slurry that will be enough to convict you if they can prove motive.

The best way is disposal at sea but it has to be done right, firstly you want to hire a sail boat, not anything else and make sure you get it by cash. The reason you get a sailboats that you can transport the corpse to the boat in sail bags and nobody will think anything. The body has to be fully wrapped in chicken wire or some other porous fencing allowing access for marine life to dispose of the flesh, it also means that the body or body parts will not float back and the body will not drift.

Now you have to dump it in an area where there will never be any diving and most certainly not any trawling. A skull was found recently in the Clyde and they proved it was someone who was abducted a year earlier. The best place to dump it is a ferry crossing zone and too shallow for trawling, that will be close to the terminal, the fencing will make sure the body stays and does not drift into shore. Do it at night is the best way. You should also smash the teeth and jaw up with a hammer, do that when the head is in the water.

Easy.

Acid is poor for flesh. Flesh needs caustic soda then dissolve the bones in acid.
