Two men are said to have dragged the body of an elderly man into a post office in Ireland in a bid to claim his pension.
The series of events began with the men entering the post office on Staplestown Road in Co Carlow at around 11.30am on Friday, according to Irish media.
They were told that the pensioner had to be present so left and returned a short time later with a man in his 60s, who appeared to be propped up, the Irish Times reported. The paper said that once suspicions were raised, the two younger men fled from the scene and left the body behind, with the pensioner being declared dead some time later.
