This afternoon
St Michan’s Churc, Church Street, Dublin.
Archdeacon David Pierpoint said the St Michan’s Church has been targeted by thieves who have vandalised its crypt and taken the head of an 800 year old mummy known as ‘The Crusader’.

Still, I’d rather have him chasing me than the Wolf Man!!!
OMG did he have a shield with a map to the valley of the crescent moon?
In seriousness this is a load of poop. I hate when things like this happen.
This is why you can’t have anything nice…
insofar as an 800-year-old corpse is “nice”
That’s a very ageist comment!
Who and why would anyone nick the head of an 800 year old mummy? You’d expect this total disregard for historical relics from ISIS, but from Irish criminals? Odd.
Irish vandals. Perhaps not actual criminals.
This kind of cultural vandalism goes on all the time. Usually chuckled about by smart asses if it’s anything church related.
Gruesome was displaying the remains in the first place.That will put an end to it.
Quite right. Petition time is it?
Burn the witch!
That’s a wrap
A bit like Irish posters on Broadsheet who think they are in the US because they spend too much time on the internet?
Police are looking for a man in a hat, leather jacket and wielding a bullwhip.
Humming the theme tune.
