Statistics tell us that most killers and dismemberers are known to their victims and that the murder is most likely to occur in the home of either the victim or the offender. The dismemberment usually takes place at the murder site, using tools generally available in our kitchens, sheds and garages. Not surprisingly, the bathroom – designed to deal with a lot of fluid and to be easily wiped down and cleaned – is the most frequently chosen domestic site. It also has, in the bath or shower, a receptacle specifically tailored to the size and shape of the human body.
