Dumped in a gold coloured cage, the sort that supermarkets use to move stock, was a headless corpse wrapped in a blood stained duvet. The gruesome discovery was found by a member of the public in a back street, behind a row of shops, at Kingsgate Place in Kilburn. The body was semi-naked and is of an adult male. The lack of head makes identification difficult but not impossible. Murder detectives are continuing with their inquiries and the scene has been cordoned off. To date there have been no arrests and the post mortem has been scheduled for thursday, 7 February at St Pancras Mortuary.
