MYSTERY OVER “STOLEN” BODY
Police on horseback have been deployed to a scene in Jerusalem where crowds have gathered since morning demanding answers after the body of a man who was buried in a tomb on Friday was allegedly stolen overnight.
Locals are suspecting some followers of the man - who was a controversial preacher - to be behind the theft. It’s not clear what the thieves intend to do with the body.
A senior police source has told journalists that four women are in custody to help with investigations. The women claim to be among the first people at the scene early this morning. They told police that they found the tomb stone rolled away and only a piece of cloth was found inside the empty tomb.
