Grave robbers steal 7 bodies from a Tenerife cemetery

Grave robbers steal 7 bodies from a Tenerife cemetery: "Civil Guard are searching for grave robbers who looted five graves at the cemetery in Arico, Tenerife, and stole seven bodies.

The desecration was discovered on New Year’s Day when a local woman went to the cemetery to lay flowers at her relatives’ graves.

The local Mayor, Eladio Morales, told Europa Press that the graves which were opened are the oldest in the cemetery. One is that of two brothers who died after a flu epidemic in 1920, while the remainder are from the 1930s.

He believes it’s the work of a satanic sect based elsewhere on the island and noted another incident four years ago when grave robbers stole ‘parts’ of bodies. The Mayor added that hens and other dead animals have, on occasion, been found outside the cemetery"
