Shaynna Sims, 26, reached into the casket of her boyfriend’s
ex-girlfriend at a funeral home and slashed the dead woman’s face, then
smeared her make-up and ran away when family members caught her
red-handed. The incident became known to police after a family had
complained a body waiting to be interred had been vandalised by an
unknown woman.
Sims was arrested on suspicion of illegally dissecting a human body.
Later police officers have found a folding knife with the deceased
woman’s hair on it, as well as scissors, a box cutter and various makeup
items. The attack is alleged to have taken place while the body was in a
coffin. Sims is now awaiting her trial and is being held on $20,000
bail, as policeare looking for the attack motive.
According to eyewitnesses, the dead woman’s face was cut from her
hairline to the tip of her nose, her makeup was smeared and her hair was
on the floor. Funeral director John Wilson giving comments on the
incident said: “It’s really unfortunate that it happened.. We have
100 years of experience in this building and nobody’s ever experienced
anything like that.”
