  1. Burn the body.
  2. Kill a stranger.
  3. Wear a disguise.
  4. Hide the head.
  5. Cast Speak With Dead yourself so nobody else can.

There are many ways to keep a witness from identifying you. You just need to be creative.

Yes DM, this comment right here.

Depending on the edition, speak with dead requires the corpse to have a working jaw, so just destroy that. If you hide the head, someone can just find it.

Can a dead body without a tongue still speak when affected by speak with the dead?

[-] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

I believe the requirement is jaw not tongue.

  1. Mixing character knowledge with player knowledge

This is all stuff you'd have a reason to know in character when a setting includes something as impactful as the ability to use the dead as a witness. If the victim can be a witness, you need to either fool or silence the victim post-mortem.
