A Serbian woman has been jailed for 18 months for marrying a dead man.
Vinka Mijovic, 32, from Garas, was furious when wealthy Miodrag Tomovic, 68, died before he could marry her.
So she bribed a local registrar to sign a marriage certificate saying the couple had both turned up for the wedding, and bribed two pals to be the best man and a witness to the fake event.
She kept the death a secret for two weeks before suddenly announcing it and organising a lawyer to get his fortune turned over to her.
But the scam was exposed after relatives complained to police and the dead man's signature was found to have been forged, local newspaper Blic reported.
