Update on murder play. How to avoid autopsy. Here are more plot details.?

Question

Thanks for suggs so far. Plot may be too complex? Identical male twins,middle aged, run business together. Twin A (unmarried) is having affair with wife of twin B. Twin B is abusive b***rd. Adulterous couple kill twin B, and twin A takes his place. (motives: jealousy/money). After killing twin B, twin A swops watches, jewellry etc etc. Clothes not a problem as take same size/shoes etc. Have to dispose of body, or make it unrecognisable, hence reason for avoiding autopsy (disitnguishable marks/old illnesses). Suggs please?

Answer 1

You want suggestions on how to avoid getting an autopsy?

Simple, don't let them find the body. They can't do an autopsy if there isn't a body. Have the body:

a) Burnt as an extremely high temperature (like what they use in crematoriums) then have them bury the ashes

b) Chucked it a canal and weighed down

c) Buried really deep somewhere (preferably on their private land, less likely to get found)

d) Buried in a building site, say the day before the concrete floor goes down the body gets buried, but would only really work if the builder is in on it  

f) Buried in a coffin with another body

Don't know whether any of them would work with your play, but all would prevent a autopsy.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's already been done
