Grave robbers in PNG dig up local hero

Bell, 82, a prominent home goods retailer, died on July 25 in a Brisbane hospital and was farewelled in a high profile funeral in Port Moresby last week,

PNG’s Post-Courier newspaper reported on Monday that Bell’s coffin was dug up on Saturday and the body was moved so the robbers could look for valuables.

However, family members told the newspaper that Bell “did not go for fancy things or jewelry and was buried in a suit and no trappings.”
