Cyprus former president's stolen corpse 'found'

Police in Cyprus say they may have found the body of former President Tassos Papadopoulos, three months after it was snatched from its grave, BBC reported.

Remains thought to be those of the ex-president were found in a Nicosia cemetery after a tip-off, police said.

DNA tests will determine whether it was Mr Papadopoulos' body, police on the Mediterranean island said.

He was president from 2003 to February 2008 and died in December 2008. It is unclear why his body was stolen.
