Cemetery not allowed
NZPA-Reuter Brescia, Italy Peitro Baroni built a family cemetery in his garden but kept rabbits in the empty vaults after his relatives denounced it as ghoulish. Magistrates have fined him 6.67 million lira ($8300) for building the tombs without permission, ordered him to demolish them, and sentenced him to five days in jail. Baroni, aged 55, spent several years constructing eight burial vaults in his garden for himself and his family. The do-it-your-self project caused uproar among his neighbours.
