THE WORST AND TERRIBLE EXECUTION METHOD ~ CEMENT SHOES OF MAFIA VICTIM

THE WORST AND TERRIBLE EXECUTION METHOD ~ CEMENT SHOES OF MAFIA VICTIM


Cement shoes or Chicago overcoat is a largely fictional method of execution and/or body disposal, usually associated with criminals such as the Mafia or gangs. 

It involves weighting down the victim, who may be dead or alive, with concrete and throwing them into the water in the hope the body will never be found. In the US, the term has become tongue-in-cheek for a threat of death by criminals. Only one real-life case is confirmed.

In May 2016, the first and only documented case of "cement shoes" was reported. The body of Brooklyn gang member Peter Martinez, aged 28, better known on the streets as Petey Crack, washed up near Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn. His head was wrapped in duct tape. His feet and shins were encased in concrete set inside a five-gallon bucket.

His body floated to the shore due to air in the concrete because it was not given enough time to dry before being thrown into the ocean.

Cement shoes is a slang term adopted by the American Mafia crime world for a method of execution that involves weighting down a victim and throwing him or her into the water to drown. It has become adopted in the US as a humorous term representing any exotic threat from criminals.

Cement shoes traditionally involve binding or incapacitating the victim and placing each foot into the two spaces of a cinderblock, bucket or box, which is then filled with wet cement. When the cement hardens, the victim is thrown into a river, lake or the ocean.

 This gives rise to the term of someone who "sleeps with the fishes", a euphemism for being killed in such a manner. A similar term is cement overcoat.
