Teen accused of mutilating corpse admits kicking in door of tomb

A TEENAGE boy accused of cutting the head off a body in a graveyard tomb yesterday admitted he kicked down the door of a mausoleum as a practical joke.

But Sonny Devlin, 17, denied removing the head from a corpse and then playing with it.

Devlin, from Edinburgh, and another 15-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, both deny “violation of a sepulchre”.
