Police find severed leg tattooed with the phrase "a good day to die"

The grisly find was made in Rome yesterday.

ROME POLICE ARE investigating the discovery of a severed leg tattooed with the phrase “a good day to die.”

“A passerby rang the police yesterday afternoon to inform us that they had found a severed leg,” police in Rome told AFP.

The leg, discovered yesterday near the Tiber river in the north of the capital, is severed below the knee and sports various tattoos including the words “a good day to die” and a football slogan supporting one of Rome’s teams, Lazio.

Investigators believe the limb belongs to a man in his 40s, and are not ruling out the possibility other body parts could be found, media reports said.

Not yet in a state of decomposition, the limb was being examined by forensic doctors at the Gemelli hospital in Rome, the reports said.

    take my advice it is probably best not to comment on this article – if your other half sees you even commented on an article titled ‘good people having an affair’ it is positively going to ruin your Sunday…..it is just not going to be worth it….we know you didn’t have an affair you were’ just saying’….it’s still not worth it……

    O’Rowe is an extraordinary talent.

    Howie the Rookie was the best written play to come out of Ireland in the last 20 years.
    Our Few and Evil days had in TVL and Sinead Cusack two exquisite performances.

    Murphy and Scott are among our very best actors .

    High hopes for this.
