A couple from Tasmania‘s south have been taken into police custody after videos of them engaging in sexual acts involving a trout and on a grave circulated online
The disturbing clips, which are too graphic to publish, were sent toThe Mercuryby a concerned resident.
One of the clips shows a woman wearing nothing but an unbuttoned orange shirt as she lays on top of a grave at a cemetery in Cressy, southwest of Launceston.
Her companion then walks towards her and begins having sex with her, making the vile comment: “Well, there’s someone’s grave. It’s a grave babe.”
“We’re going to f**k on the grave, that’s where it’s at.”
The woman then replies: “To the souls of the faithfully departed, may they rest in peace”.
The disturbing clips, which are too graphic to publish, were sent to Tasmanian publication The Mercury by a concerned resident who condemned the depraved behaviour.
The grave belonged to popular Tasmanian landscape artist David Hammond Chapman, who was born in Ballarat in 1927 and died in Cressy in 1983.
He had three children with his wife, Beatrice Chapman, who died in 2018.
