Afterwards, as customary, her body was taken away, stripped naked (the clothes went to charity), wrapped in a bedsheet, and placed in a cheap pine coffin for burial.
The garrotte was used in Spanish colonies, e.g.

Flora knew just where Garrotte had gone and which of the five roads he would be using to come back, and so she had taken u a position along the main road, hiding behind a dilapidated wayside shrine that was surrounded by shrubs.
She knew what Garrotte's car looked like, his license number, and she'd memorized all the features of his face.
Garrotte was truly capable of living up to his nickname, but the Russians, apart from teaching him to call the longhairs "hooligans", had fattened him up like a pig, and venoms first tap made the sweat ooze from Garrotte's every pore.

The plot of the movie has serial killer Edward Garrotte (Van Damme), also known as “The Torch” because of his penchant for setting his victims ablaze, running wild in Seattle.
Although I wish that the character of Garrotte (The Torch) would have been a little more developed, Van Damme also did an admirable job playing the less difficult of his two roles.
Michael Rooker was less convincing in his role as a loose-cannon detective with a good-heart but a one-track mind.

 A Short History Of The Garrotte
When someone says, "The garrotte is only a killing weapon..." Technically, they are correct, but they are not usually speaking of the execution device that was once used for Capital Punishment, therefore, they are incorrect in reality.
These are "garrottes." The important thing to remember is, if someone says, "No, that’s not a garrotte, this is a garrotte..." And they are speaking in absolutes or anything other than an execution device, they’re incorrect.
The right hand holding the other end of the garrotte is then looped over the head of the enemy in a semi-circular, counterclockwise motion and then the arms are pulled apart.

It may affect an "ally" (as seen by the caster/target) right before that "ally" plunges a knife into the character's back (though presumably, subsequent effects based on that caster/target's perceptions would not see the knifer as an "ally").
My guess is "no" in the same way that the character wouldn't consider someone who just stabbed him in the back an "ally." The character is reduced, the garrotte is not, and that's the end of it.
My other unhappiness is that I am STILL inclined to say that the garrotte is *not* part of a character's equipment, but that is because we fundamentally disagree on the definition of equipment, so I don't think there can be much fruitful discussion there.

It does make sense that if the garrotte had been used in sex games, it would have been removed and thrown away, not left in place.
It is possible that one or both Rams had been using the garrotte in sex games with JonBenet or as some type of punishment, and that they decided to leave it in place, hoping that the cops would never suspect them.
