Hearse thieves bring corpse on a pub crawl
by Gulliver

Two South African men were arrested in Soweto after allegedly going on a drinking spree in a stolen hearse with a body in the back.

They were nabbed after the hearse ran out of petrol at 3 o'clock on a Sunday morning and they asked three women they had met in a drinkintg den to help push the hearse, police said.

The men allegedly went into a shebeen while intoxicated and asked the three women to help push the car to the nearest petrol station.

The men told the women they were on their way to bury the body of a relative. But the women called a member of the Community Policing Forum in the township of Soewto.

The hearse driver, Siphiwo Mkhize, said he had parked outside his house to fetch money for petrol. When he came out the vehicle was gone.

"It is a shocking thing to realise there are people who could steal a hearse with a dead person inside," he told The Sowetan newspaper.

"Going shebeen-hopping with a corpse takes the cake. What kind of people are these?"

A member of the Community Policing Forum said the men appeared to be drunk when they were arrested.
