In the United Kingdom, an ice cream parlor has been singled out for its Halloween-themed window display, as it represents the scene of a homicide.”
According to local media, the establishment created a mannequin wrapped in garbage bags and duct tape, the alleged ‘victim’ was next to a knife and was covered in fake blood.
According to Patrick Green, the director of the Ben Kinsella Trust, a charity that fights stab crime, the exposure was “insensitive” and could cause “distress to anyone who has been affected” by such crimes.
For their part, local officials expressed disappointment with this display and demanded its removal, considering it “unfamiliar” to the main street.
