Tasmanian man allegedly failed to report partner’s death before burying her on rural property
Police have charged a 69-year-old man who allegedly failed to report his wife had died before burying her on their rural property.
A Tasmanian man is accused of burying his partner on their rural property after failing to report her death to authorities.
Police said the 69-year-old man’s partner died in August, three months before officers visited the property in Cranbrook on the state’s central east coast last week where they uncovered a grave containing the woman’s body.
The man was charged with failing to report a death and mishandling human remains.
He will appear at the Hobart Magistrates Court in March next year.
Investigations are ongoing and anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
