Greek woman allegedly buried alive by accident

Police in northern Greece are investigating a cemetery worker's testimony that a woman revived in her grave shortly after being buried and called for help, only to die before she could be extracted.

Police officials say the man and two people visiting the cemetery said they heard banging and a muffled call from inside the 49-year-old cancer patient's grave late Thursday, an hour after her funeral.

Fraudsters have stolen £5 million so far this year in a "letter box scam" that targets flats.

Residents of shared buildings are a prime target for fraudsters who steal post from unsecured letter boxes, according to Financial Fraud Action UK, an organisation funded by banks.

Fraudsters have stolen £5 million so far this year from the scam, which involves using personal information from letters addressed to unsuspecting victims.
