Cyprus police have arrested a Romanian man suspected of vandalising the tombs of three archbishops in a cemetery2 in the capital city of Nicosia. 塞浦路斯警方逮捕了一名罗马男子,该男子涉嫌毁坏首都尼科西亚一座墓地里三位大主教的坟墓。 The desecration was discovered after a fire at a church The 34-year old man confessed to removing the marble slabs4(大理石板) covering the graves of the churchmen, police said. The remains5 of two of the bishops1 first appeared to have been stolen, but the bones of one of them were in fact buried elsewhere(在别处) years ago, police say. The suspect denies removing any human remains from the tombs. He was arrested after throwing a bag of human excrement6(人类排泄物) at police officers at a Nicosia police station Sunday. The graves of the men, who led the island's Greek Orthodox church in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, were discovered to have been tampered7(干扰,玩弄) with after police officers responded to a pre-dawn fire at a Nicosia church. An investigation8 showed that the remains of Kyrillos II were reburied decades ago in his birth village of Prodromos, 80 km south of Nicosia, police say. Investigators9 are trying to determine whether the remains of Sofronios III were stolen or reburied by the church elsewhere, police spokesman Michalis Katsounotos was quoted as saying by AP news agency. The remains of Kyrillos III were left undisturbed. The suspect had "issues with the church and holy ground", Nicosia police chief Kypros Michaelides was quoted by Reuters as saying. The 34-year-old Romanian faces charges of religious sacrilege(亵渎) , trespassing10(擅自进入) and causing malicious11 damage(恶意破坏) at grave sites. The desecration comes less than two weeks after three men were held over the theft of the corpse12(尸体) of a former Cyprus President, Tassos Papadopoulos.
