EINDHOVEN, Netherlands — Two Dutch teen-agers were arrested Saturday as they tried to open a grave in the cemetery of a Roman Catholic monastery. They said they were digging for human skulls, Dutch television reported.
The two suspects, aged 16 and 18, had already removed a tombstone when they were surprised by the monastery’s gardener, the report said.
The report quoted police as saying the two had removed at least two skulls, one of which they sold to an unknown buyer for $56.
