Thread: The Kebab and the Corpse

Real life seems to outplay Fawlty Towers, this from the BBC

Perhaps it should be in the Cookery section.

Kebabs made as corpse lay nearby

A fast food shop owner was found preparing food while an employee's corpse lay nearby.

Police called to the Pappu Sweet Centre in Wolverhampton in August discovered the man's body on a sofa near the kitchen, magistrates in the city heard.
The business, owned by Jaswinder Singh, 45, was shut down immediately.
The council said it was one of the worst cases environmental health officers had seen. Mr Singh has been banned from running any food business.
The man's death was not suspicious, police said.

'Awful smell'
Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court heard about a long list of hygiene breaches at the Cannock Road shop.

The court was told that on 27 August a police officer had been called to a report of a dead man there. A statement of facts, read out to the court, said: "Upon his arrival the officer observed a dead male lying on a sofa at the rear of the main kitchen. "Sat opposite to him was Mr Singh who was preparing food, making kebabs."

The court also heard that in a nearby room were a large number of flies which were landing on food.
There was also an "awful smell", thawing meat which was oozing blood and covered in flies, and a man smoking and spitting on the filthy floor. Environmental health officers had been visiting the shop since October 2007, the court heard.


During an earlier visit, officers noted a number of rat droppings and then found a dead rat underneath a cooking pot which had just been laid against a wall to dry. Mr Singh admitted a string of hygiene offences and was ordered to pay nearly £4,000 in fines and costs.

Probably ended up in the curry take-out orders.

He probably died as a result of food poisoning.

No more dangerous than the dirty stalls that line Bangkok's filthy, polluted streets which are infested with rats and stray dogs.

Not SO Bangkok recently won an "AWARD" as the "cleanest/greenest" cities is SE Asia, from who I cannot recall but it was on Thai TV, and they BELIEVED it!

it is only a coup;e of years ago that pakis raped then killed a young girl in blackpool and then disposed of her body by making it into kebabs.
