Moldovan accused of murdering 1800-year-old

The involvement of archeologists has saved a Moldovan man from imprisonment for murdering a woman, who was around 1800 years old.

The resident of Tokuz village in Moldova was digging a hole in his garden when he suddenly came across a pile of bones deep in the ground, Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper reports.

Neighbors who were helping him in his work started a rumor that the man had blood on his hands, which made local police launch a criminal case against him.

But he denied all the murder allegations, saying he had nothing to do with the skeleton and attracting everybody’s attention to the old age of the bones he found.

That’s when the archeologists came. The specialists wasted no time in proving that the remains belonged to a woman buried in the 2nd Century of the Common Era.

“This is the burial of nomadic tribes of Iranian origin. Apart from the female skeleton, there were two ceramic vessels and a few other items in the tomb,” Alexander Lewinsky and Valery Bubulich from the Moldovan National Museum of Archeology and History said.

Fortunately, the evidence provided by the archeologists convinced the police and all the allegations against the poor man were baseless, and the criminal case was closed.
