Luzino village in the Omsk region of Siberia had something of a scandal when a man gardening dug up a skull in his potato patch.
He rushed to tell his wife ....
.... who calmly informed him that it was nothing to worry about. "Don't worry" she said, "Its just the body of my first husband." She went on to tell him that he had "come home drunk and started to beat me," and that she had grabbed an axe and killed, then dismembered him.
She had put the body parts in to the potato patch. She then told husband number two that he should "bury the remains again, and forget about it."
However he couldn't heed this advice, and told the police, who after talking to the wife dug up the rest of the body. She apparently readily confessed, and even took part in a reconstruction for the cameras.
They charged the woman with a wilful killing, and placed her under house arrest (there being no local jail). While she faces a possible ten year sentence (which seems kind of light, but that's what the news report said), a neighbour remarked that 'by planting potatoes the man may have saved his own life.'

He nearly had his chips cashed in.
