UK Muslim woman’s corpse found covered in bacon in hospital morgue

The Metropolitan Police’s racial crime
task force was called in to investigate the incident, at Hillingdon
Hospital in west London, and an extensive inquiry was launched.

It is strictly against the Muslim
religion to touch or eat pork and the woman’s family, who do not want to
be identified, have been left deeply traumatised. Detective Chief
Inspector Tony Hester, of Hillingdon police, said: “This is a
particularly grotesque act which has outraged the family as well as the
whole community.“Because of the nature of the incident
a criminal investigation was immediately initiated and is still
ongoing. DCC4 – Racial and Violent Crime Task Force – was involved in
the initial investigation and officers from the Community Safety Unit
are in constant liaison with them.
“We are also, of course, keeping the
family and local community informed of developments.” The crime was
discovered as staff arranged for the body to be viewed by family
members.Police have viewed CCTV footage and
speaking to staff and others captured on video outside the
mortuary. Forensic experts have also examined the bacon and the gown the
woman was wearing.
A member of the woman’s family told
BBC London News the incident made them feel “physically sick. It was
like a horrible nightmare. I get flashbacks, my brain goes numb. ”I
witnessed her passing away and then for me to witness that again, it’s
traumatic. I feel emotionally raped.”The woman’s daughter said it was like a
nightmare that was still deeply affecting the family. ”I thought
someone who did this hated Muslims especially. I don’t know why they
chose my mum. ”In life you expect a lot of things, but something so
shocking, you couldn’t even think it up in the worst horror movie. Evil,
evil, people.”
David McVittie, chief executive of
Hillingdon Hospital NHS Trust, expressed sympathy for the family and
said everything would be done to find out who was responsible.“I am extremely sorry for the distress
that the family of the lady concerned suffered as a result of this
despicable incident and for any distress it has caused to the Muslim
community. “I am shocked and outraged that such a thing has happened and will not rest until we have found the perpetrators of this crime.”
The £5,000 reward has been offered by
Scotland Yard and the hospital. The family is being represented by human
rights solicitor Imran Khan.
