Hidden coffins and black bags discovered behind false wall in Slatina cemetery chapel

A false wall in the Strehareți chapel of Slatina's municipal cemetery concealed black plastic bags and a coffin-like object, prompting a police investigation.

In Slatina's municipal cemetery, workers uncovered a hidden compartment behind a false wall in the Strehareți chapel, finding black plastic sacks and an object resembling a coffin. The mayor, Mario De Mezzo, said the anomaly was spotted with a camera used by the local water utility, Compania de Apă. He immediately reported the find through an emergency 112 call, and criminal investigators are scheduled to dismantle the wall today to examine the concealed materials.

While the exact nature of the contents remains unverified, the mayor speculated they might hold human remains. He emphasized the need for swift action to uncover the truth and restore dignity to the community. The police response is ongoing, and no official conclusions have been released yet.

Why it matters
