Warden targets bus with dead man

A traffic warden in Belfast issued a parking ticket to a minibus without realising that a person inside the vehicle was dead.

The incident occurred at a taxi rank outside Jury’s Inn hotel on Great Victoria St just after 8am last Tuesday.

Onlookers said a figure was slumped in a seat near the driver’s seat which was parked outside the hotel. The person was not moving and seemed to have slid down in the seat when the traffic warden passed and issued the ticket.
