A man who took his uncle's corpse to the Post Office to collect his pension claims that he "didn't know he was dead" at the time.
Declan Haughney insists that he was not trying to rob his deceased relative Peadar Doyle, 66, after he and another man dragged him for around five minutes from his home to collect his pension from a Post Office branch on January 21.
The 40-year-old claimed that he is now "the talk of the town" and has been branded as a "murderer" in the community of Carlow, Ireland, ever since the story emerged, as reported by The Mirror.
