Russian 'grave robber made dolls from girls' corpses'

Quote:
A suspected grave robber in the central Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod is said by police to have made 29 life-size dolls from mummified female corpses.
Local historian and cemetery explorer Anatoly Moskvin, 45, was arrested last week by police investigating a spate of grave desecrations in the area.
The brightly dressed dolls, their faces and limbs covered in cloth, were found in his flat and garage, police said.
It was not clear whether each doll contained a set of human remains.
Police are now trying to establish the identity of the mummified remains.
They said they had been investigating "numerous" grave desecrations in cemeteries in and around Nizhny Novgorod since last year.
