Wouldn't you need:

  la Ben cu murder lo chicken lo pliers quu weapon

? Otherwise, it might be taken to mean "Ben is a murderous chicken
using pliers as a weapon" or "Ben is a murderously chickeny 
pliers-as-a-weapon" or "Lo! there's Ben type-of murderously chickeny 
pliers-as-aweapon!" or something else. (I'm not sure if names
can be recognized as sumti in Loglish even without {la}, or whether
"pliers quu weapon" can be taken as a sumti even without a gadri.  
You might also need to distinguish "chicken quu animal" from
"chicken quu coward".)
