Caught in the act: Man arrested after trying to have SEX with corpse

A middle aged Cambodian man was caught asleep in a coffin after he allegedly tried to have sex with the corpse inside.

Unfortunately for the man identified as Chin Chean, he fell asleep in the coffin before he could have his way with the body of the 17-year-old girl, whose burial he had attended.

Chean was discovered after residents saw his foot and told the girl’s family.

Daily Mail reports :

Chin Chean told police that he started digging up

the coffin at 10pm, the day after he had attended

the funeral of the 17-year-old girl.

The Cambodia Daily reported that after digging

down through the earth he reached the coffin and managed to open it.

He then admitted to police that he had tried to have sex with the body but because the coffin was too small he was not able to do so. Then, he admitted, he fell asleep on top of the body.

‘Villagers saw Mr Chean’s foot by the grave at

about 6am and told the deceased’s family,’ said

police chief Keo Vutha of the Prey Poun community 103 miles south east of the capital, Phnom Penh.

‘We don’t know at this stage whether he knew the victim when she was alive,’ said Mr Vutha.

But he said that Chin Chean was known to take

drugs and commit unusual acts, such as running

around the local pagoda naked.

‘We are going to send Mr Chean to the district

police for questioning before we sent him to court,’ said a police spokesman.
