A Lincolnshire woman says she has suffered sleepless nights after discovering a stranger had been buried in the plot she reserved behind her late parents at Deeping St James Cemetery. Marie Lane, 69, bought the right to the spot in 2013. After a three-year fight, the Ministry of Justice allowed the body to be exhumed, despite objections from the family. The parish council has apologised.
