Re: Lindow Man 'was a simple murder victim' by Thorgrim on Tuesday, 01 March 2005

Well we can never know his real name, but we call him "Pete Moss" because he was found in a peat moss which is another name for a bog. You could call him Pete Bog if you like. It seems that he was sacrificed rather than just murdered because he was killed in three ways - he was hit on the head, then he was garrotted and the noose is still around his neck. Then his throat was cut. His body was placed under water in the bog which was miles from anywhere and he was naked except for an arm band of fox fur. Someone went to a lot of trouble, didnt they?

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
