Police probe after children find mobile phone with picture of laughing mortuary embalmer holding up a severed head
• Brother and sister aged 10 and 12 found phone with the pictures in a ditch
• David Amor named as embalmer holding aloft head of man believed to have been hit by a train
A gruesome image found on a mobile phone showing an embalmer laughing as he holds aloft a severed head was today at the centre of a police investigation.
The sickening picture, which features a man named as David Amor smirking at the camera, was on a phone found in a ditch in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, by two young children over the weekend.
It is one of three images on the phone that show the decapitated body, believed to have been hit by a train.
The disturbing shot is understood to have been taken as 26-year-old Mr Amor worked in a mortuary to preserve the body of the dead man until his funeral could take place.
Also on the phone were lists of Mr Amor's appointments and an electronic business card for his embalming business.
He advertises his services at £50 pounds for 'straight cases', and £60 pounds for 'PM' cases.
Mr Amor states on a social networking site that his place of work is Amor Embalming.
He is understood to live with a cross-dresser, David Hill, in Aylesbury.
When questioned at his home, Mr Hill refused to comment about the pictures.
Wearing what looked like a blond wig and accompanied by another person who also looked like a man dressed as a woman, he shouted: 'We don't want to make a comment. No comment. Go away or we are calling the police.'
