Sex doll with bruises is worse than creepy

I find it disturbing that this sex doll “had hair, a nose piercing and markings that resembled bruises and grazes” (A ‘body’ found in a suitcase was actually a sex doll. How did NSW police get it so wrong?, 12 August). I suppose it could be said that at least these injuries weren’t inflicted on a real woman, but what does it say about the (presumed) man who owned it – or the manufacturer that created it? “Creepy” is too mild a word for this .

• Boris Johnson once hid in a fridge and now Donald Trump hides in an airline meals container (Report, 11 August). I wonder who will be the next head of government to seek refuge in something designed to store food?
