A HEADLESS corpse wrapped - like a mummy - in sheets and duct tape was found behind a shop today.

The grim discovery was made by a member of staff at the rear of the Amazon store in Kilburn, North West London.

Cops are currently carrying out a search for the missing head in the area.

Forensic experts, meanwhile, are preparing to gently tear open the masking tape used to wrap the body. Homicide cops are investigating.

One source said : "At the moment we don't know if the victim is a man or a woman. Whoever did this has gone to some trouble to try and stop us from identifying the victim."
