This is the first picture of Dale Mundell, 34, from Islington, who was found dead in a suitcase by shocked families attending a teddy bear hunt in Borstal Recreation Ground, Kent, on Friday.
Discovery at the Park
A mother attending the teddy bear hunt, a fundraiser for a local nursery, noticed flies emerging from the suitcase. She told KentOnline: 'I saw the luggage before the police. I was with my niece and nephew, so I was busy keeping them from seeing it. What I saw was the suitcase covered in hundreds of flies. I actually heard the buzzing from them first. I noticed that it was a large suitcase and had a snow sledge next to it.'
Charges and Court Appearance
Joshua Miller, 32, and Jamie Cooper, 27, have been charged with murder and preventing a lawful burial. They appeared at Medway Magistrates' Court yesterday and have been remanded into custody. Police say the victim and both men were known to each other.
Background of the Case
The day before the discovery, police had been tipped off to a potential murder at a flat on Kingfisher Court in Wandsworth, more than 30 miles away from Borstal Recreation Ground. The investigation is ongoing.
