| A Russian taxi driver got a rude shock when he discovered his blind ex-wife, who thought he had died in an explosion, had him buried in a Moscow cemetery, a newspaper reported on Thursday. Oleg Lunkov learned of his apparent death when he applied for a passport and was told he died in a bomb blast on Moscow’s metro on February 6. His ex-wife thought he was on the train, but being blind, she got her mother to identify the remains. "I thought, ’I hope they didn’t bury me on my birthday’," Lunkov told the Moscow Times after visiting his grave in southeastern Moscow. "But it turns out they did." The grave has been exhumed by police investigating his wife for possible fraud. Lunkov’s name still appears on prosecutors’ official list of the 38 people who died in the explosion. |
