Millionaire innocent of suicide and self-dismemberment

Eccentric, moody millionaire Bob Kutt, accidentally committed suicide in self-defense—that is, to defend himself against himself. Then, panicked, he dismembered his body.

Every part of him was found innocent.

The verdict ended a grisly case that began when a choice selection of Kutt’s body parts washed up on a beach.

Kutt was stunned when he heard the verdict; his mouth hung open down to his ankles and his eyes filled with tears. The 60-year-old millionaire hugged his attorneys and sweetly murmured: “Your checks are in the mail.”

Kutt is still under suspicion in the disappearance of

  • all of his first wife and
  • her Siamese twin by another father.

To escape, he posed as an invisible mute woman.

In a risky, all-or-nothing strategy by the defense, the jury was allowed to consider only the suicide, not lesser charges of

  • shoplifting,
  • lousy posture
  • sloppy butchering.

Kutt’s head was never recovered. The one he had in court was an off-the-shelf job from a local lettuce boutique.

Kutt came under suspicion after cops found a receipt with his name on it in trash bags containing his remains. When arrested, Kutt skipped bail and fled, apparently having lost his head.

He was a fugitive for 6 weeks. But then he got caught shoplifting sawdust when a storekeeper wouldn’t change a $530,000,000 bill. When caught, Kutt was armed and headed.

Kutt is the son of the ever-late Seymour Kutt who refused to comment although he was not asked for one.
