Grisly Murder Of Former Librarian in Britain

British police have found the dismembered body of a retired librarian in eastern England, and are looking for eleven other people reported missing.
The body of the 63-year-old man is believed to have been dismembered there and dumped elsewhere. Then, it is alleged, the killer assumed his identity to steal thousands of dollars from his investments. Detectives believe the murderer struck in the style of The Talented Mr Ripley, the fictional character who murdered a friend, took on his wealth and then lived his life. Here’s the story from The Advertiser and another from a British news service.

    and …
    now they’re releasing the names.
    The report had said previously that “Forensic experts have been working at two properties 200 miles apart – the home of the librarian in Eastern England and the 49-year-old suspect’s flat. Neither can be identified for legal reasons”.

    forensic detail
    Your headline would indicate bears are on the loose in East Anglia. Try “grisly”. I submit in the spirit of enhancing the librarian’s reputaion as right and clever.

    Re:forensic detail – thanks
    Thanks much for the correction. I would hate to point the finger at innocent bears. Alas it was one of those darned humans that was to blame.
