Detective Sergeant Jake Goodwin had been ushered to a body laid out in a farmer's field of freshly planted cabbages, discovered by the inevitable dog, this time a Collie sheepdog.
Laid there before him, a local well-know environmentalist with one arm bandaged from wrist to shoulder, sealed with gaffer tape top and bottom.
As if that was not enough, stuck to the bandaged arm in a clear plastic bag with the easily recognizable black and yellow skull and crossbones image were the printed words:
Do NOT Remove
ON PAIN
OF DEATH
