N.C.P.I.—Crim. 230.92

The defendant has been charged with concealing the unnatural

death of a person by [dismembering] [destroying] human remains.1

For you to find defendant guilty of this offense, the State must

prove three things beyond a reasonable doubt:

First, that the defendant knowingly and willfully [dismembered]

[destroyed] human remains by [removing body parts] [obliterating any

portion of the remains] [(describe other means of destroying or

dismembering human remains)];

Second, that in doing so the defendant intended to conceal the

death of a person;

And Third, that the defendant [knew] [had reason to know] the

human remains were of a person that did not die of natural causes.

If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or

about the alleged date the defendant knowingly and willfully

[dismembered] [destroyed] human remains by [removing body parts]

[obliterating any portion of the remains] [(describe other means of

destroying or dismembering human remains)], that in doing so the

defendant intended to conceal the death of a person, and that the

defendant [knew] [had reason to know] the human remains were of a

person that did not die of natural causes, it would be your duty to return

a verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to

one or more of these things, then it would be your duty to return a

verdict of not guilty.
