A chilling incident unfolded in Chile when a nun was caught on video walking down the street with a wheeled suitcase that was later found to contain the corpse of her fellow sister. The police revealed that there was a pact between the two women, where one had died a year ago, and the other had kept her body in the suitcase out of affection.
Authorities in Santiago responded to a report of a suitcase filled with bones, initially sparking fears of drug cartel involvement. Upon reviewing video footage, they identified the nun, an 80-year-old woman named Lorenza Ramirez, who had taken private vows but did not belong to a specific religious order. Her deceased friend, Erica Fernandez, 58, had passed away due to illness in April 2023.
The police investigation suggested that Ramirez may have been suffering from a mental disorder. The two friends had made a pact to stay together even after death, with Ramirez keeping Fernandez's body hidden in her house for a year. Ramirez expressed deep affection and loyalty towards her friend, leading her to honor their agreement.
Although the autopsy revealed no signs of foul play, Ramirez faces potential penalties for breaching public health regulations by failing to report her friend's death. Instead of arranging a proper burial or cremation, Ramirez left Fernandez's body in the suitcase for garbage collectors to dispose of, causing concerns due to the foul odor emanating from it.
Ultimately, a passerby discovered the body inside the suitcase, prompting further investigation by the authorities. While Ramirez may not face arrest, she could be fined for her actions. Her daughter intervened and convinced her to give her friend a proper farewell, ending the unusual and tragic saga of the two devoted friends.
