toyboxkiller: HORRIBLE DISCOVERY OF A GIRL EATEN BY RATS (1870s)A most appalling discovery was made last week in the town of Haverball. The circumstances of the case are both remarkable and horrible to the last degree. The facts are as follows:For some months past a man named William Laslett, his wife, and adaughter (a girl about thirteen years of age) have occupied two rooms on the basement story of a house in Princess Street. Laslett, itappears, is a traveling hawker in the hardware line; he keeps a horseand cart, with which he travels from town to town, and has beenaccustomed to be absent from home six or eight weeks at a time.Occasionally, he would take with him his daughter on his travelingexpeditions, but more frequently his wife accompanied him.He left Princess Street with the latter seven weeks ago, Jane Laslettthe daughter remaining behind. The young girl was seen by her neighbors for a few days after her parents had departed, when all of a sudden she was missed. The doors of both rooms in the occupation of the Laslett’s were locked, and the natural inference was that Jane had left to join her parents, and she had been known to do so before on more than one occasion. Weeks passed over; the suspicions of the other occupants of the house that something was amiss became stronger every day.An unpleasant and sickening odour crept up the staircase and found its way into the several apartments.

HORRIBLE DISCOVERY OF A GIRL EATEN BY RATS (1870s)

A most appalling discovery was made last week in the town of Haverball. The circumstances of the case are both remarkable and horrible to the last degree. The facts are as follows:
For some months past a man named William Laslett, his wife, and a
daughter (a girl about thirteen years of age) have occupied two rooms on the basement story of a house in Princess Street. Laslett, it
appears, is a traveling hawker in the hardware line; he keeps a horse
and cart, with which he travels from town to town, and has been
accustomed to be absent from home six or eight weeks at a time.
Occasionally, he would take with him his daughter on his traveling
expeditions, but more frequently his wife accompanied him.
He left Princess Street with the latter seven weeks ago, Jane Laslett
the daughter remaining behind. The young girl was seen by her neighbors for a few days after her parents had departed, when all of a sudden she was missed. The doors of both rooms in the occupation of the Laslett’s were locked, and the natural inference was that Jane had left to join her parents, and she had been known to do so before on more than one occasion. Weeks passed over; the suspicions of the other occupants of the house that something was amiss became stronger every day.
An unpleasant and sickening odour crept up the staircase and found its way into the several apartments. On Monday last, a carpenter who occupied one of the upper rooms was prevailed upon to break open the door, which led to those on the basement, whereupon he was horror struck at the sight presented to him.
Upon the door being burst open, a legion of rats scampered in all
directions. The greater portion of the body of the poor girl had been
devoured by the rats. The medical gentlemen who have since made a post mortem examination, concur in the opinion that Jane Laslett died
suddenly from disease of the heart of long standing - that her death
had in all probability taken place some weeks back, since which time
the rats had been feeding on the body.
The father and mother have not yet returned, nor do the neighbours know where to communicate with them.

Monk caught with nun’s skeleton at airport

cassket:

ATHENS - A Cypriot monk caught at a Greek airport with the skeletal remains of a nun in his baggage on the weekend told authorities he was taking the relics of a saint back to his monastery.

The 56-year-old Cypriot was detained at Athens airport on Sunday after security staff discovered a skull wrapped in cloth and skeletal remains in a sheet inside his baggage.

“They maintained it was a woman who was a saint,” a Greek police official who declined to be named told Reuters on Tuesday, adding that the monk told authorities he was transferring her remains to a monastery in Cyprus.

The remains were those of a nun who died four years ago. She was not a saint in the Greek or Cypriot Orthodox Churches, but had once been a nun at a Cypriot convent, police said.

Revering the skeletal remains of saints is common in the Greek Orthodox tradition. A sect within the church may have venerated the nun even though she was not an official saint.

In many churches, venerated relics are put on display for the faithful to touch or kiss and a box for collecting donations from the faithful placed nearby.

“It appears to be the work of charlatans with a financial interest that is what I suspect,” Cyprus’s Archbishop Chrysostomos told journalists on Tuesday when asked about the monk’s tale.

The monk was freed after being charged with theft and desecrating the dead, a misdemeanor in Greece. He was also suspended from his monastic duties for three months for going away without leave, Cypriot police said.
