A 21-year-old has been detained by police on suspicion of vandalising a grave and raping the newly-buried corpse of a woman.
He opened the coffin of a 39-year-old woman, according to police sources in Monchegorsk, Russia, in the far north region of Murmansk.
The man has not been named but is from the neighbouring region Arkhangelsk region.
A criminal case has been opened under an article of the Russian criminal code on desecration of the dead and their burial places.
The maximum punishment under the law would be three months in prison, or a fine of up to £400.
It is the second case of a sexual attack on a dead woman in the north of Russia this year.
This first was in the Komi Republic when two men were jailed for raping the body of a young woman in February.
Monchegorsk was established by Stalin as a nickel and copper mining town and has a population of 45,000.
