Thinking gap

You'd think that if you were going to take someone to a well-known suicide spot like Sydney's Gap, and throw them off, you'd at least try to make it look as though they'd taken their own life. Not so for men currently on trial in Sydney for the death of a luxury car dealer in 2005. Although reports suggest that they had only wanted to "put the fear of God" into their victim who they had kidnapped from his home, it seems they were intent on a little more as they lifted him over the safety fence, stood him on the edge and then, with him blindfolded and his hands bound, they reportedly "tossed him over the edge like a 'football'". That could be the type of thing that leads the police to think there may be "suspicious circumstances".
