A Ukrainian man is offering people "coffin therapy" to prepare them for the afterlife.

Tributes were being paid today to Nobel-prize winning author and Russian dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who has died aged 89.

Turned in by his own terrified brother, Nikolay Soltys was captured hiding under a desk in his mother’s California garden after a 10-day manhunt for the Ukrainian immigrant accused of butchering six relatives.
