79-year-old paralyzed mother pulled from grave alive, three days after son buried her (video)

A 79-year-old disabled woman who was allegedly buried alive by her son has miraculously survived after being trapped in the pit for nearly three days, authorities have said.

The paralyzed mother, known as Wang Mou, was rescued on Tuesday, May 5, after the woman’s daughter-in-law reported her missing.

The 58-year-old son, known as Ma Mou, has been arrested and faces an attempted murder charge, according to the police. An investigation on the incident is underway.

Police in Jingbian County revealed that at 9am on Tuesday morning, the suspect’s partner Zhang Mou went to the Xinzhuang Police Station to report her husband had taken her mother-in-law out on a trolley around 8pm on May 2, but she had not returned.

After bringing Ma in for questioning, investigators said he admitted dumping the elderly woman at an abandoned tomb in a forest south of Jingbian County.

After confirming the location, police immediately excavated the gravesite, and halfway through they heard a faint cry for help. They surprisingly found the paralyzed mother still alive after nearly three days without food or water.

She was rushed to a hospital and is currently in a stable condition.
