Russian citizen who died on "Bulgaria" buried in Belarus by mistake

He mistakenly recognized his wife - a 61-year-old Larysa Petukhova - in Perm inhabitant Halina Batanava during the identification procedure. The situation got clear only when identification of all the bodies was completed. Genetic expertise showed that the Belarusian took another woman's body to his homeland. Now the Perm inhabitant's body will be exhumated and sent to Russia, informs the portal uralinform.ru

Let us remind you, the diesel-electric propulsion ship "Bulgaria" drowned in Volha river on July 10. 122 people, including 28 children, died.
