MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian police have arrested a man described by local media as the "cemetery collector" for digging up 29 corpses and dressing the remains in female clothing to display around his flat.
Grainy police video images of the man's cramped flat showed what look like several life-sized female dolls without faces, some with platinum blond wigs.
"During a search of his flat and garage, 29 self-made, life-size dolls dressed in the clothes of buried people were found," a spokesman for police in Nizhny Novgorod, 400 km (250 miles) east of Moscow, said Tuesday.
"It was ascertained that he used mummified human bodies from graves to make them (the dolls)."
Police described the man, who was arrested following the desecration of graves in the area, as a local historian and an expert in the study of place names.
Media cited friends as saying they had never seen the dolls and that he was a learned, if eccentric, man.
DERBYSHIRE, England - Free beer is doing in criminals in England. In an undercover operation, police in Derbyshire, England have sent letters to dozens of criminals with outstanding warrants who had evaded arrest for several months.
The letter asked the criminals to call a marketing company and if they did so, they would collect a free crate of beer.
A total of 19 suspects fell for the hoax and called the number, which put them straight through to Chesterfield Police Station.
A time and date was arranged for the free alcohol to be delivered but instead the suspects were arrested.
Chief Inspector Graham McLaughlin, who is leading the operation, said: "These suspects are people who have managed to evade arrest for some time so we have used different tactics to find them.
"It has been very cost effective as it can take a lot of time and money to track people down.”
Those arrested are alleged to have committed offences including burglary, robbery and sexual assault.
LONDON, England - Businessman William Sachiti spotted the cigarette packet-sized GPS tracker and feared the worst having previously been in the security business.
The bomb squad was called and the street cordoned off and the man called his wife, Diletta Bianchini, an oncologist who works at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton, Surrey.
Sachiti had recently begun working late and his wife thought he was having an affair. She hired a private investigator who bugged Mr Sachiti's silver Lexus.
Mr Sachiti spotted the tracker and mistakenly thought that it was a bomb. He went to the nearest police station and the High Street in Sutton, Surrey, had to be shut down.
"(It) was the wife who hired someone to follow me as she was concerned about my new ambiguous work hours," he explained. "She may well have thought I'm having an affair but I'm not.”
"My wife has always been that sort of person who has wanted to know where I am."
As police began to cordon off the area, Mr Sachiti telephoned his wife and she confessed.
"I'm just so sorry it happened. "It was a huge mistake and I was out of my mind," she said.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: "Police cordoned off the immediate area to traffic and pedestrians.
"The bomb disposal squad, London Fire Brigade and London Ambulance Service were called but cancelled shortly after when police officers were informed by the driver's wife that she had arranged to have a tracking device fitted underneath the rear of her husband's car.

NFC Uniform Suggestions:
49ers - Fix the stripes on the sleeves
Rams - Ditch the gold and navy, go back to royal blue and yellow.
Seahawks - Keep the current logo, but go back to the old colors. Silver Helmet, and Royal Blue and Kelly Green jerseys.
Cardinals - Design a new helmet, new logo, start all over. Cards uniforms are dull.
Saints - I'm fine with these as they are
Panthers - Consider going with Carolina Blue and Navy, co-opt the Tarheels colors!
Buccaneers - Broncos are going back to orange jerseys with new logos, figure out a way to go Creamcicle with new logos.
Falcons - RED HELMET!
Vikings - Ditch the yellow, go monochrome purple and white.
Lions - The helmet stripe is too skinny, and the old Lion is better than this newer one.
Packers - Don't change a thing
Bears - (Controversial) Make a cool new Bear logo, update the uniform, put the Bear logo on the helmet.
Giants - Go back to blue letters on the road jersey
Redskins - Scrap the name, scrap the colors, scrap everything, blow it up, worst uniform in the NFL.
Eagles - Kelly Green!
Cowboys - Use the Navy uniform more often, scrap the two different color pants, just wear the silver ones that currently go with the blue jersey, match the numbers color to the helmet color
Magnificent Seven: Top 7 Sports Injustices:
1. USA – Russia – 1972 Olympic basketball
2. Stanley Cup Finals 1999 – Brett Hull’s foot was in the crease in Game 6 OT goal.
3. The Tuck Rule Game – Raiders vs. Patriots
4. Hand of God Goal – Helped Argentina knock England out of the Semi-Finals in the 1986 World Cup. At the post-game press conference, Maradona claimed that the goal was scored "un poco con la cabeza de Maradona y otro poco con la mano de Dios" ("a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God")
5. Miami-Ohio State Pass Interference
6. Theirry Henry’s handball knocks Ireland out of the World Cup in qualifying
7. Jim Joyce robs Armando Galaraga of a perfect game by a terrible call on what should have been the 27th out.
8. 5th Down – Colorado vs. Missouri
9. Broncos-Chargers – The Ed Hoculi Game
Vertically Striped Music Recommendation:
