Wonders, they say, will not cease to end or how would one explain why an able-bodied young man will decide in his mind to start having carnal knowledge of fresh female corpses all because he works in a mortuary.

While reportedly making his confession, Sharkur Lucas said he finds it difficult to control his sexual urge, so he sleeps with female corpses to satisfy his libido.

Explaining why he also does that, Lucas said he was forced to do the act when he could not easily get a woman of his own.

“Sometimes, if I want to ask a lady out, she will be afraid of me once she hears that I'm a mortuary man and turns me down. But when I'm in the mortuary sometimes, I see a fresh female corpse and I satisfy myself,” Lucas told Adom TV.

He added, “The ladies sometimes say because I work in the mortuary, I will kill them if they accept my proposal. I have not (only)done it once but many times. Currently, I don't have a wife and since I was born, I haven't had sex with a fine girl.”

Defending his actions, Lucas said he does not see anything wrong with sleeping with female corpses.

“Working with dead bodies is a talent that God gave me. I'm with the dead bodies every time, everyday and it is as if I'm with another person,” the morgue attendant said.
