Grave robbers steal remains of Cyprus Archbishops
Grave robbers in Cyprus have attacked the tombs of three archbishops in a case which echoed one targeting a former president's remains last December.
Cyprus police on Sunday arrested a Romanian man suspected of vandalising the tombs of three archbishops who led the church in the late 19th and early 20th century, a police spokesman said.
The graveyard in central Nicosia is a burial ground for several senior clerics of Cyprus's Orthodox Church, an ancient institution tracing its lineage back to some of the earliest followers of Jesus.
