Imagine for a moment that you were calmly working in your vegetable garden and suddenly you unearth a human body… How would you react? You don’t want to miss his wife’s reaction in the video!

Finding the corpse of his wife’s ex-husband

For this local of the Russian city of Omsk, this was probablythe strangest discovery that he would ever make. It is relatively normal to come across people’s remains from other eras, or people that had died during the war and their bodies had never been moved. But finding yourself face to face with the corpse of your wife’s ex-husband in your garden isn’t something that happens every day.

As The Daily Mail said, on the 23rd of May 2018, in a town in Siberia, a man came across skeletal remains in his vegetable patch whilst planting potatoes, and continued digging until he had unearthed the entire human body.

The man hurried to tell his wife what he had found, who, with nerves of steel and completely calm, told him what had happened to her ex-husband, who had died during an argument in 1997.

The woman in her 60s asked her partner to bury the bones again and forget all about it, but he refused and turned it into the police.

In official police questioning, the woman didn’t hide anything, nor deny what had happened and said that she had done away with her ex-partner during one of the many arguments that they had had in their relationship. According to what she said, she was a victim of harassment and physical abuse.

She killed him by hitting him with an axe, and when she realized that he was in fact dead, proceeded to chop up his body, and bury him in her vegetable patch.

Because he didn’t have any family, nobody looked for the victim, and his wife told people that he travelled a lot and during one of his trips, he lost his way and she never saw him again.

21 years later and her crime has finally been revealed and the woman, who hadn’t been arrested at the time, will be tried for her crimes. What a story!
