Guyanan man fined for sex with corpse, blaming nerves

A 20-year-old garbage collector in the South American country of Guyana has pleaded guilty to performing an indecent act on a dead body after he allegedly exhumed the corpse of an elderly woman and had sex with it.

Roopram Bacchus appeared before a judge on Friday and testified that he has a nerve problem that really bothers him and whenever he drinks it (the nerve problem) acts up. The judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation and fined him $US200. He faces a year in prison if he is unable to pay the fine.



Police divisional commander Steve Merai said that Bacchus dug up the body of a 75-year-old woman a day after relatives buried her in a cemetery in early March. Merai said Bacchus broke into the coffin, removed the corpse and had intercourse with it.

He said Bacchus and the family were neighbours.
