WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - A woman's body snatched from a hearse in a family dispute involving differences between ethnic Europeans and indigenous Maori in New Zealand was buried Friday in the correct cemetery, police said.
The seizure of Ivy May Ngahooro, 76, an ethnically European woman who had married an indigenous Maori man, had dismayed members of the family, said her niece, Trish Scoble.
Scoble had arranged for Ngahooro to have an Anglican Church ceremony as she had stipulated in her will. But Ngahooro's estranged daughter, Joanne Bennett, arrived at the funeral home with a group of people and removed the casket before it could be taken to the cemetery.
