Just noticed there was something missing in that text. Here it is again, edited.
  1. As he looked down on the naked body he felt no shame, no remorse,
    no sense of responsibility whatsoever. If that was the way the
    customer wanted him to deliver the body then so be it. All he thought
    of was the money. But he was also aware that he should be on his
    guard, for it was almost certain that there was a witness to the event.
    Somewhere, those pretty blue eyes were surely watching him, and
    despite the beauty of the beholder he knew there lurked an
    unbalanced mind. Yet this was too profitable for him to be put off by
    some maniac; when his services were in demand he would just have
    to remain alert until the job was done and he had left the scene.
    He looked again at the body. Nice touch that, wrapping it tightly in
    plastic, it kept things nice and clean. No blood on his hands. There
    was no denying he was cold, but the events that would unfold over the next two days made him feel less so. He allowed himself
    a satisfied smile, nodded his head knowingly, and relaxed.
    Relaxing was a mistake.
    Unseen, unheard, his assailant crept from the undergrowth, wild-eyed
    with rage and
    carrying her weapon before her. Her mind was so crazed that even as
    the body fell she failed to recognise it as that of her sister. Even so,
    with her head rocking maniacally from side to side, she rushed at her
    tormentor and buried the weapon deep into his flesh.

I’m glad you edited it. I had picked up on your error regarding ‘him feel less so’ but was wary of mentioning it......
