German Women Attempted To Bring A Dead Relative Onto A Plane

But Instead They Were Arrested At John Lennon Airport

Two German nationals living in Oldham, UK, have been arrested for attempting to bring a deceased 91-year-old relative onto a plane bound for Berlin. The women told airport officials that the elderly man in the wheelchair was "sleeping."

Gitta Jarant and Anke Anusic tried to check in the body of Curt Willi Jarant onto the flight at John Lennon Airport in Liverpool on Saturday. A cab driver, who had helped the women put the body in a wheelchair, alerted airport security staff. "(T)hey reassured me that 'he always sleeps like that'," said driver Andrew Millea.

The BBC reports that the women said they were unaware that Mr. Jarant had died the day before they transported him to the airport in the cab. The women insisted that they had checked his temperature and that he had been eating. They said he was wearing sunglasses because he had an "unsightly eye" and didn't want other passengers staring at him.

The two women were charged with failure to give notification of a death and are free on bond.
