Whilst many murders have gone unsolved, the reputation of the forest as a destination of choice for the dumping of bodies also attracts the less efficacious killer. Following a failed attempt to double cross Yardie criminal Byran McLeish (in order to misappropriate a consignment of smuggled cocaine), Ray Samuels was kidnapped, tortured into revealing the address of his co-conspirator (Godfrey Scott), and finally suffocated before his body was dumped just a few metres inside of the Metropolitan Police District near Rangers Road, Chingford. Unlike other professional killings, this murder was not planned and the torturous nature of the killing, which involved scalding the victim with boiling water, skinning him, torturing him with an iron, cutting out his tongue and suffocating him with a plastic bag, was a messy endeavour, which produced a body rich in forensic evidence. The dumping of the body so close to the road and a horse bridle path was a rushed and frantic affair, which was doomed to failure if concealment of the body was the primary objective, as the body was found by a female dog walker just a few hours after it was dumped. The choice of location, in an area that had a high level of footfall from dog walkers, which was located near a busy forest car park, could have been the result of McLeish's lack of local knowledge. McLeish, from Winson Green, Birmingham was described as belonging to a new demographic of organised criminal typified by their Jamaican heritage, their ability to be highly mobile and their use of extreme violence to break into new territories and to maintain control. Samuels' co-conspirator, Godfrey Scott, was shot dead on the doorstep of his girlfriend in Leytonstone, east London within the preceding 24 hours of the body being found. McLeish was identified as a suspect following a car belonging to him was found abandoned in Bethnal Green, east London. McLeish, who laughed as he was sentenced to two life sentences in 2002, is due to be released from prison in 2017, after being sentenced to a minimum tariff of 16 years minus time served.
