Answer:
The title is justified since, firstly, in a direct and literal sense, the object used to kill Patrick Maloney is a frozen leg of lamb. Patrick is essentially "slaughtered" with a leg of lamb as the murder weapon. In this sense, then, the lamb, or rather, a part of it, is brought to the slaughter.
