Just what were you making them out of?

Well I won't be having kebabs for a while. I have to wonder, was the corpse just lying there or was it supplying the meat..... 

A fast food shop owner has been banned from running any kind of food business after he was found preparing food while a corpse lay on a nearby sofa.

Police officers called to the Pappu Sweet Centre in Wolverhampton, last August, found a dead man lying on a sofa near the main kitchen.

Owner Jaswinder Singh, 45, was preparing food nearby.

A council spokesman said it was one of the worst cases environment health officers had come across.

But but why was the corpse there?
Why hadn't the ambulance been?
Why hadn't it been removed?

[Nick]

Who are you asking?

[Bar Wench]

Anyone?

[Nick]

Prolly been murdered.You don't kill someone then call the ambulance

Perhaps Mr Singh called the police and asked them to attend because someone had died and then simply went on making whatever he had been making when the death happened. People do strange things at times of stress.

Perhaps indeed 999 and his address were his only bits of English.

Prolly been murdered.You don't kill someone then call the ambulance

Then why hasn't Mr Singh been arrested?

[Barman]

Perhaps Nick called-up for a take-away and the man just dropped dead...?

Oh... that has reminded me of a question for the... um questions thread...

Then why hasn't Mr Singh been arrested?

See my previous for a sensible scenario.

Perhaps Mr Singh called the police and asked them to attend because someone had died and then simply went on making whatever he had been making when the death happened.

More likely rang the plod:-

Mr Singh:  "I am in the Pappu Sweet Centre in Wolverhampton, and it smells like someone has died in here"

PC Brummie: "I know mate, I had a kebab from there last week. Goodbye"

[Nick]

It seems likely to have been one of their customers!

It wasnt just the dead body that was the health risk. This place sounds more like a Porton Down field trip than a kitchen.

LONDON (Reuters) - A man discovered making kebabs near a corpse has been banned from managing food businesses and fined 3,800 pounds, Wolverhampton City Council said on Tuesday.

Jaswinder Singh, 45, was found by police making kebabs at Pappu Sweet Centre and Catering in Wolverhampton in August in a kitchen where a dead man was lying on a sofa.

As well as the corpse, the policeman discovered another man smoking and spitting repeatedly on the floor, while in a room near the kitchen, a defrosting chicken, oozing blood and juices, was covered with flies.

Environmental health officers had visited the shop over a number of months previously where they had warned Singh to improve his food hygiene standards after finding rat droppings as well as a dead rat beneath a pot.

"We were called to reports of a sudden death," said West Midlands Police spokeswoman Joanne Hunt. "A post mortem was carried out, but found the death was not suspicious, so the matter was referred to the coroner."

Wolverhampton's city council's chief environmental services officer Nick Edwards said: "The council will not tolerate those who put the public at risk by preparing food in insanitary conditions.

"We are pleased that the council's actions have resulted in the courts banning this individual from ever running a food business again."
