A 60-year-old man mummified his mother's body using salt and pretended
she was still alive so he could claim her pension every month.
Vladimir
Leonidov, a sex shop worker, did not inform the local authorities or
his family about her death and continued to pocket her monthly 16,000
Roubles (£160) pension for three years.
Daily Mail reports he tricked neighbours into believing she was
alive by making a dummy and sitting it on a balcony dressed in his late
mother's clothes. But his plot was uncovered when people started
complaining to police about the terrible stench coming from his flat.
After investigating, they discovered her decomposing body.
The scandal happened shortly after he moved from St
Petersburg to Yessentuki, in Stavropol Krai, south west Russia, to take
care of his mother.
After she died, he looked up ways to mummify
bodies on internet and decided to keep her body in the apartment. He
also decided to keep her death secret.
