Guyanan man fined for sex with corpse, blaming nerves

A 20-year-old garbage collector in the South American country of Guyana has pleaded guilty to performing an indecent act on a dead body after he allegedly exhumed the corpse of an elderly woman and had sex with it.

Roopram Bacchus appeared before a judge on Friday and testified that he has a nerve problem that really bothers him and whenever he drinks it (the nerve problem) acts up. The judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation and fined him $US200. He faces a year in prison if he is unable to pay the fine.



Police divisional commander Steve Merai said that Bacchus dug up the body of a 75-year-old woman a day after relatives buried her in a cemetery in early March. Merai said Bacchus broke into the coffin, removed the corpse and had intercourse with it.

He said Bacchus and the family were neighbours.

He's got the right name for someone with a drink problem  "<span>Dionysus</span>, the Greek god of wine and intoxication, known as "Bacchus" to Romans"
