Wow, this is quite ingenious, even if quite creepy, as well. Compared 
to this, AK seems like a very nice death, quick and clean. I think 
though maybe Lupin and Black wouldn't want to do such bloody stuff in 
front of the kids. It would also require some kind of communication 
between them, some kind of agreement on what to do, something 
like:"So, what do you think, Remus, shall we rip out his heart or 
shall we crash him with the piano?":-). We don't see that in the book.

Yeah, that's why I asked how they intended to kill him. I thought it 
was AK, then the ministry would know and there would be an 
investigation. However, if they used some other method, as Catlady 
suggests, no one would know, of course.
