HM - good thought about the circular pattern. I've since wondered if the checkerboard pattern might be the shoe sole tread pattern.

I can't get over the depravity of these perps, killing purely for their own perverted pleasure.

Ahhh...A shoe sole/sneaker/tennis shoe. I had not thought of that. It also said there were marks that resembled shoe toes, like somebody would receive when kicked.

I instantly thought of a meat tenderizer. It has a flat square head with square protusions which would make a "checkerboard" pattern. And they are weighty, Like a hammer.
