A man has been jailed for having sex with a dead body.

Stephen Sellars, 62, of Hibaldstow, North Lincolnshire, was interrupted by the woman's son and nephew as he carried out the act in her home.

Sellars had been left alone with the victim at the property for about 15 minutes.

It was on return to the house that the victim's son and nephew caught Sellars committing the offence.

He then got dressed and "ran out of the property", said [the son].

In text messages shared between the victim's son and Sellars, the defendant said he "was smashed" and "I didn't know what came over me".

Scott told the court that Sellars had said to officers: "It was obvious what was going to happen, wasn't it?" 😬
