London ice cream shop pulls its ‘murder scene’ Halloween display after outrage from locals
AN ICE cream shop has pulled its Halloween display because it was too grisly.
Kaspa’s mocked-up murder scene featured a dummy wrapped in bin bags and duct tape lying beside a knife and covered in fake blood.
It was condemned by knife crime campaigners and customers.
Patrick Green, head of the Ben Kinsella Trust said; “This display is insensitive and is likely to cause distress to anyone who has been affected by knife crime.”
Two councillors in Eltham, South East London, stepped in to demand its removal, saying: “We are very disappointed, it is not at all family-friendly for our high street.”
Kaspa’s said as soon as it was made aware of concerns, the display was taken down.
It added: “It was in poor taste and we apologise for any distress that it’s caused.”
