A visit to the municipal cemetery of Castellammare di Stabia before the All Souls' Day holiday period led to an unexpected discovery: a burial niche purchased months earlier was already occupied.
According to Metropolisweb, the purchaser found that the niche intended for members of their family contained another body. The discovery was followed by a detailed complaint to the Carabinieri.
The identities of the purchaser and of the person buried in the niche were not stated in the report. How the body came to be placed in the purchased niche, and what action the cemetery administration may take, were also not stated.
