Grenada police say a man calmly walked into the police station and declared, “I have two heads for all you” as he handed them a couple buckets carrying the severed heads of a pair of local islanders who were later found decapitated and mutilated.
Authorities on Wednesday charged a Grenada man with two counts of first-degree murder after he walked into a precinct station with the buckets that held the grotesque remains of his victims.

Prime Minister Tillman Thomas, who is also national security minister, called the be-headings an “indescribable act” that underscores the need for a “structured approach to anger management.”
For once, a politician with a gift for understatement.
I was kinda hoping this was going to be an auction announcement.
Why do you think it’s called “beheading”? Shouldn’t it be “deheading”?
I’m very disappointed in the headline. The phrase “bucket of heads” typically implies more than just two heads. I mean if I went to KFC and got a “bucket of chicken” and it only had two pieces of chicken, even if they were like two breasts, I’d feel ripped off. I think the phrase “bucket of…” implies at least 8 items in said bucket. Granted, you need a big bucket to get eight heads in it, or, really small heads, but still. I think I’ve made my point here.
Some people just place too much of a priority on getting ahead.
This old bucket of heads, reminds me of an old country tune.
Two buckets w/1 head in each doesn’t add up to a bucket of heats — what a letdown.
Sounds like someone needed a hug.
Perhaps the guy just wanted to pay for Health Care.
Maybe he didn’t have any chickens…
The man was obviously some kind of disgruntled tea-party domestic terrorist.
No photo of the perp, so HuffPo, MSNBC, and other leftists can still hold on to the hope that the crime was committed by an elderly white person.
Anger management is covered at my company for this very reason. We have not had an incident like this in quite a few years.
I saw a bucket of heads once.
Snapping turtle heads, after trapping and cleaning them. The nasty little bastids would still take your finger off, even 15 minutes after the heads were separated from the bodies. As kids, we’d put a stick in there to catch a head. It always worked.
[Middle English biheden, from Old English behafdian : be-, away from; see be- + hafod, head; see head.]
Only head notion I have is while traveling in South America I came across a kid who I thought was licking a lollipop. When I got closer, it turned out to be a monkey head on a stick. They don’t let anything go to waste down there.
Well done threadsters.
He would have beheaded just one victim… but he was smart enough to realize that two heads are better than one.
He mentioned “anger management” because people were losing their heads!
why didn’t he take them to a head shop instead?
he actually just wanted to head them off on the way to town.
it was all a misunderstanding. He actually said “I be heading to da police station, mon.”
arrrrgh, groan, ouch…
Looks like my little Grenada made international news with this one if it made it to Dvorak’s. This will definitely go down in the history books, since something like this is unheard of on this lovely island.
raster;
Two heads are better than one…
Trying to get ‘ahead’…
“Police allege Steve Gory, 32, presented the bloody decapitated heads of two local men to officers at the Grenville police station on Monday night. ”
Steve GORY?
Are you all asleep? Why didn’t someone post this earlier?
Damn that is story of the year material.

saddlebag=1 head, bucket=2 heads, basket=4 heads, dufflebag=8 heads.

“Suddenly Clive realized his mistake. He was ahead in the game.”
Head to Granada for a real good time
Head to Granada where the weather is fine
Head to Granada with your body and soul
Be sure to bring your bucket
Cause your head is gonna roll
