A good image would be a lamb bone, as inside the joint of meat itself would be the actual bone which gives the 'weapon' it's strength and weight. In the short story 'Lamb to the Slaughter' by Roald Dahl, the author presents a murder weapon which can actually be eaten! However, it is important to remember that the bone remains afterwards. It is probably this which makes the weapon effective - although the weight of extra water in a frozen joint would be considerable. So, I would go for the image of the bone itself. A joint of meat without a bone inside would not make a very good murder weapon - although we should always note the black humor of the police eating the meat!
