MJ01 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 2 of his shovels were for back up - but the other was his favourite - it was his 'Ace Of Spades' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 15 years would be more justice and fair than the 15 months sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 The grave robber dug a 3ft hole and he was able to thrust a spade through the coffin. That’s not very deep for a grave. I thought the standard depth for a grave would be a minimum of 5ft. What’s that expression 6 feet under, clearly not in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a grave with 2 coffins, one on top of the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattricia Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 15 hours ago, Janus said: A "habitual criminal" who dug up a woman's grave because he believed it contained valuable jewellery has been jailed for 15 months. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-64351682 The report says he had 3 spades. Does that suggest he was not alone? 15 months or 15 years ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
