Chilling Images - Here, the husband who 'howled like an animal' buried his wife, 62, body

A 57-year-old man has been charged with the murder of his 62-year-old wife, whose body was discovered buried in a forest in Luumäki, Finland, months after she went missing.

A disturbing case has emerged from Luumäki, Finland, where a 57-year-old man is accused of murdering his 62-year-old wife last August. Following an investigation, police revealed that he buried her body just 1.5 kilometers from their home. The body was discovered at Kaitjärvi in October, raising questions regarding the circumstances and timeline of the tragic event.

According to the prosecutor, the husband allegedly transported his wife's body in his car to their property before burying it in a pit he had dug in the woods. Eyewitness reports and forensic evidence suggest that the wife suffered significant trauma, although the specifics of her death remain unclear. The prosecutor described the husband's behavior as extremely concerning, likening it to 'howling like an animal' during the crime.

In an effort to uncover additional details, investigators employed a memory recall test with the husband, presenting him with various scenarios related to the crime. This test revealed strong reactions to phrases that matched the characteristics of the victim, suggesting a troubled and potentially self-incriminating mindset. As this case unfolds, many members of the community are left grappling with the shock of the incident and questions surrounding domestic violence.
