A family who set up hidden cameras to catch the culprit who had been defecating and urinating on their mother's grave were shocked to discover it was her ex-husband. Linda Louise Torello died aged 66 in 2017 after a long battle with cancer and was laid to rest at Tappan Reformed Church cemetery in Orangetown, New York.
However, her grieving family started to find faeces and urine at her headstone "almost every morning" and decided to secretly record the site to catch the disgusting vandal. Linda's son, Michael Murphy, 43, then shared an incriminating video on social media of the man getting out of his car and urinating on the headstone as if it was a "normal routine", the Mirror reports.
The family were able to identify the man as Linda's ex-husband, whom she had been briefly married to almost 48 years ago. They were divorced in 1974 and had not been in contact since 1976 - however it appears the former partner is still bitter about the relationship.
