A mum in Russia shared her bed with her husband’s mummified body for nearly four years, according to police.
The woman, named Svetlana, 50, kept her spouse Vladimir’s corpse in their bed and warned her children not to tell anyone or they’d be sent to an orphanage.
Vladimir, 49, died under mysterious circumstances in their large detached house four years ago, reports suggest. “The woman wrapped the body of her deceased husband in a blanket and took him to her room,” said a report by rg.ru.
She then told her children who witnessed the family drama to keep quiet, threatening them with the orphanage.
Social workers discovered the mummified father when they visited to check on the family, which includes two girls, aged 17 and eight, and twin boys aged 11. On previous visits, they hadn’t noticed the mummified remains.
A source told Izvestia newspaper that Svetlana had performed “ritual ceremonies” with the mummified remains in the family’s six-bedroomed house. Both she and her late husband had previously been involved in occult rituals.
