WOMAN, BURIED BY SON, SAVED AFTER THREE DAYS

Police in northern China charged a 58-year-old man with attempted murder after he allegedly buried his 79-year-old mother in an abandoned grave, where she was found after three days, traumatized but alive, and covered by loose dirt. The man’s wife told police her husband carried his mother away in a wheelbarrow on May 2. When she failed to return three days later, police were informed and the man was arrested. Rescuers said the woman was heard faintly calling for help as she was freed. She is partially paralyzed and her son was apparently fed up with having to constantly take care of her.
* I bet that made yesterday’s Mother’s Day brunch awkward.
* It’s horrible for the mom, but at least the wheelbarrow ride was fun.
* “Honey, what are you getting your mom for Mother’s Day?” “Don’t worry – I’ve got her covered.”
* Buried … rises from the grave after three days … kinda rings a bell.
* And what exactly is an ‘abandoned grave’? Is it just not being used any more? How does that work?
