Women arrested for trying to take dead relative on plane
06.04.10
Police have arrested two women after they tried to take the body of a dead relative onto a plane at Liverpool Airport. No this is not a late April Fools joke, it was reported by the BBC and the women in question have since given an interview claiming that they 'thought he was sleeping'!
Staff are said to have became suspicious when the women tried to check in the man, who was wearing sunglasses, for a flight to Berlin on Saturday. The man is thought to have died the previous day and was in a wheelchair.
The women, aged 41 and 66, the man's wife and daughter, were arrested on suspicion of failing to give notification of a death. The pair, who are German nationals but live in Oldham, have been released on bail until 1 June, police said. Officers are investigating reports that the body had been taken to the airport by taxi from Oldham.
