Ligature
Kenneth Micahel Trentadue was tortured and murdered in August 1995, while incarcerated at the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He was strangled with plastic handcuffs or "flexicuffs." Kenneth Trentadue's family believes that he was murdered by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Above is a photograph taken by the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office of Kenneth Trentadue's neck. This photograph depicts the groove or furrow left on Kenneth's neck by ligature and clearly shows the cross-tie like impressions caused by the locking mechanism of the plastic handcuffs.
