Gravediggers called authorities after realizing that a structure, which had traces of blood around it, was sealed off with bricks and fresh cement.
A 36-year-old woman was rescued from the grave where two men had buried her, allegedly for misplacing a load of weapons and drugs, in the municipality of Visconde do Rio Branco in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais.
As detailed in a statement by the Military Police, the cemetery gravediggers called the authorities when they realized that a structure, which had traces of blood around it, was closed with bricks and fresh cement.
Upon arrival, the agents heard “cries for help” and after breaking the tombstone they found the woman, who presented “head injuries and various cuts to the body”.
They immediately called the Mobile Emergency Service (SAMU), which was in charge of transferring her to the hospital. In a video circulating on social networks, one of the agents shows the grave.
