AN UNIDENTIFIED FOREIGNER was found floating in the Thames this past Tuesday.

Though Inspector Ian McAndrews of the Yard had no immediate comment, sources exclusive to The Scoop agreed that the body was so decomposed that no identification was possible, other than that the man was of Middle Eastern origin.

According to an expert on Arabian culture, blood-feuds that last for generations are quite common in the Middle East, and this unfortunate may have been the latest casualty of such a vendetta, transplanted to our fair shores.

The Scoop urges any of its readers who have any information regarding this crime to contact Scotland Yard immediately.
