Man steals corpse’s hand

Goiania, central Brazil, was walking home when he passed the city morgue.
He told police he noticed an open door at the back of the building at around 3:30am and decided to sneak inside “to take photos of the dead bodies.”

De Oliveira, a butcher, managed to slip past security guards and got into a room where there lay three dead bodies.

In an interview he told police he started talking with the corpses, “asking what they were doing there and what kind of life was this that they were leading, but no-one responded.”

He then decided to chop the hand off a man who had died in a traffic accident to scare a neighbour who had once “called his mother a prostitute”.

When he got home on the morning of November 23 De Oliveira threw the severed body part in to the back yard of the neighbour, who found the hand the following morning and called the police.

Police matched the hand to the corpse in the morgue using fingerprints and reunited the body parts.
Police eventually identified De Oliveira with the help of CCTV recordings. He has been charged with “contempt of a corpse” and faces a prison sentence of between one and three years. — Daily Mail.
