Another news from the reality is stranger/sadder than fiction file. Reuters reports from Karachi that Pakistani police involved in a man-hunt to capture Abdul Rehman, a mentally-ill man that has dug up his father's corpse to try to re-animate it. "He dug up the corpse on Thursday night after he had hijacked an ambulance and its driver at gunpoint and took it to his home," Ghulam Murtaza, a duty officer at Ferozabad police station in the southern city of Karachi, told Reuters. [...] He kept the corpse, which was nothing but a skeleton in his bedroom, for well over 12 hours. He escaped when we raided the house. We have buried it again"
There was a witness to Rehman's try as a re-animator. Rehman also kidnapped a vagabond who reported that he saw Rehman "chanting magic spells and pouring rose water on the corpse to bring it back to life".
