“Entombed” for Seven Years.— A 30-year-old woman, Ageliki Koukoutsis, has been discovered by gendarmes in a village near Sparta in an “animal-like” condition after being “entombed” by her father for seven years in a hut about a yard square. She was unable to speak, walk or stand upright. Her back was bent and her chest bones protruded. She was ill-fed, and had not washed or seen the light of day for years.
