Man in a Suitcase?

In international news this week a Mexican woman has been arrested for trying to sneak her partner out of prison in a suitcase.

Prison officials noticed that the woman looked nervous and her suitcase was considerably bulkier than when she entered.  According to a spokesperson from police in the Caribbean state of Quintana Roo; the inmate was found curled up in the foetal position inside the suitcase after a conjugal visit.

What is not yet clear is whether the foetal position was a result of the conjugal visit or in order to fit into the suitcase.  The answer to this question could tell investigators whether the breakout was premeditated, or whether it was spontaneously decided to pack the man into the oversized empty suitcase, which she just happened to have brought along for the trip.

We sent our man on the ground to his local Chicquito’s which was just within our travel allowance.  He had this to say on the subject:

“It appears to be an Open and shut case, an insider from the prison stated, through pursed lips, that they were happy to have bagged another criminal but couldn’t rule out that someone could be sacked.”

We are very glad he is back from his chicken hunt, although he seems different…

Charges against the woman are currently pending.

We need to print a correction to our last story.  Apparently Den wanted us to play “Knights Suck” not “Clones”.  We don’t know what made us think that a story about shop assistants being made to wear makeup made us think of Clones.  Best to just blame the interns.  You can follow Denis here:   http://www.myspace.com/denfire
