It turns out that a friend of mine , who is a wildlife warden, has The Tortoise living a safe and comfortable life at her house until further notice. So....I not only saw The Tortoise but the tiny skeleton too! :)
Shame, poor thing came to her with the skull (only, very disappointing!) of some medium sized animal GLUED to its back. It was swathed in feathers and other black magical items and was obviously sent as a very important 'final warning' indeed! She tells me this is actually the third tortoise to have been used in this manner (she has them all in her garden) and that they all look as if they have come from the very same witchdoctor/traditional healer and that it is unlikely that the case will be solved as the police are rather scared and would prefer for it all to just go away.
She has promised copies of the pictures she took when the tortoise arrived so, as soon as I get them I will post them here for you.
Isn't it exciting to know a 'celebrity' ?

The mind boggles!
Sounds a lot more exotic than the Small Claims Court, though ... and, in Africa, anyway, probably more effective!
K.
Very effective I believe LOL
Poor tortoises - it must be very unpleasant to be used as the messengers of doom!
