Compelling explanation

A Peruvian man, 26-year-old Julio Cesar Bermejo, is being detained in Puno after police discovered a mummified human in his possession. Officers approached three men drinking in a park on Feb. 25 and noticed the remains inside a cooler delivery bag. Bermejo told them that he had brought the mummy to the park to show his friends; it had been in his family for decades. He said he named the remains “Juanita” and it was his “spiritual girlfriend.” However, officials say the mummy is actually that of a 45-year-old man, and they’ve turned it over to authorities.
