Cow dung fate for 'manure bomber'

A woman fell into a tank of slurry as she tried to make "manure bombs" using her stockings, German police said.

The unfortunate woman stripped off her foul smelling clothes and fled the scene naked, along with a female accomplice wearing just her bra and pants, said a police spokesman.

It is unclear what the women were going to do with the manure-filled stockings, but officials suspect it could have been related to Germany's 3-2 victory over Turkey in the Euro 2008 semi-finals that day.

The two women entered a farm in the northern village of Eberholzen, Lower Saxony, on Wednesday evening and started to fill the stockings from the slurry tank.

"One of them slipped into the manure tank, right into the cow muck," said the spokesman. "The other one helped her out. We found their clothes in a field. One seems to have run off naked, the other in her underwear."

Police have not said if the pair had committed any offences but said they have held on to the discarded clothing. "The women can get their clothes back from the local police station, unwashed," the spokesman added.
