Women try to smuggle body on to flight

Two women from Oldham tried to smuggle a dead relative on to a plane at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

The corpse of Kurt Willi Jarant was pushed in on a wheelchair – complete with sunglasses – to try to fool staff at the check in desk at JLA.

But as his two companions attempted to check him in for a flight to Berlin on Saturday, staff became suspicious and alerted the authorities.
