Some years back all those North West European bog corpses had a
conference in Silkeborg (maybe this is the same exhibition?). What I
saw does not suggest "ritualistic sacrifice". I mean wouldn't you
expect them to at least dress for the occasion? Nothing of the sort.
Murder, plain and simple. No accessories for magic, nothing but a
half-naked brutalized corpse.

Yes, I also was in attendance at that bog conference in Silkebog, errr,
Silkeborg. Piercings with arrows "could" be interpreted as of ritual
significance, but from my perspective, I'd call it out and out murder. But
then, perhaps my interpretation is too, too conservative.
