The police in Aberdeen, Scotland, discovered the skeletal remains of a woman who had died approximately 12 years ago, as reported by "UK Today News." The newspaper added that the woman's husband kept her body in their home for 12 years, but her failure to show up for a COVID-19 vaccination led to the police being sent to their residence after local nurses began searching for her. She would have been 88 years old now, but missed her appointment for the coronavirus vaccine, leading to the discovery of her skeletal remains in her home in Aberdeen.
Daniel Malley, 77, had kept the body of his wife, Christina, after she reportedly died in 2009, according to an initial forensic report. Malley justified Christina's absence from family gatherings by claiming she was with relatives at the farm where she grew up, leading his family to learn of her death through the news.
Malley continued to collect Christmas gifts for his late wife from their family, and his relatives thought he had separated from Christina and did not want to discuss it when he joined them for Christmas each year alone. He wrapped Christina's body tightly in a heavy cover in an attempt to preserve it and mask the smell to prevent his neighbors from discovering the truth.
The police stated, according to "UK Today News," that Malley's reason for keeping his wife's body for so many years was his inability to part with her. The newspaper also reported that the police have no idea if he will face any criminal charges at this moment.
