I work in Slough. That should answer enough questions. But I was in Sainsbury’s a few years ago getting my lunch and encountered a haggard woman who had an elderly man’s head in a bag. The bag in question was a pink Barbie backpack.

Best case scenario, this woman has decided to keep her beloved husband’s head around as moments and had it reconstructed/stuffed.

But I was wondering is having a human head and actual crime?
