TWO women who were arrested at a British airport while trying to take a dead relative onto a plane will not face any criminal charges, it has emerged.
Gitta Jarant, 66, and her daughter Anke Anusic, 41, were arrested at Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport in April after it transpired that 91-year-old passenger Kurt Willi Jarant was dead, Sky News reported.
Kurt Willi Jarant was in a wheelchair wearing sunglasses when airport officials became suspicious and checked his pulse.
His widow and stepdaughter, who were due to board a flight to Berlin with him, were arrested on suspicion of failing to give notification of death.
However, the case against them was dropped, allegedly because a time of death could not be ascertained.
Prosecution lawyer Martin Hill said: “Having carefully reviewed a file of evidence presented to me by police, I have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to bring any charges in relation to the death of Kurt Willi Jarant.”
The women always denied claims that Kurt Willi Jarant, a German national, was dead for some time when they transported him from their house in Oldham, northwestern England, by cab to the airport.
