Russian woman hangs on to dead husband's body - for three years
Nov 20 2012
MOSCOW (AP) — Russian
authorities say a woman with five children kept her husband's body in
their apartment for almost three years after his death.
Prosecutors in the central Yaroslavl region said the unidentified woman, described as a devout Pentecostal Christian with a psychiatric record, was so distraught when her husband died of natural causes in 2009 that she believed he "was bound to resurrect."
An investigation was opened after the body was found in a dumpster in a plastic bag in July.
The prosecutors' office said Monday that the woman kept the cadaver in a bed in a room of her apartment and asked her children to talk to it and feed it.
There was no evidence of necrofilia though it was difficult to disguise the odor for 3 years.
The office says two children decided to dispose of the body when the family moved to another apartment.
