Exactly. There are different types of garrotte and the twisting ones are *usually,* not *always,* done with piano wire, which can behead someone.
They do it and take it with them, victim is already dead. This one, to ME, has always appeared to have had a slip knot at the back that just locked down when the handle was pulled the right direction - or alternately, when the handle was positioned between two bars or other stationery objects and the child was pulled in the opposite direction. Hands-free for the perp.
Geez, Rte66, "stationery objects"?
Yes, it was some parchment colored vellum that Patsy had chosen for the Christmas newsletter, but no one knew that. Some of it had been rolled and laminated into posts, then set in wet cement to harden.
Once in the concrete, the garotte handle could be put between these two stationery objects, see?
>>>Oh, Rte66, I was thinking you probably meant "stationary" objects and just made a typo.
You're right. I did.
