Police said yesterday they had found the mummified bodies of three generations of one family in a flat where they had apparently lain dead for between two and 10 years.

The Moscow prosecutor's office said police broke into the flat in the south-west of the capital after complaints that the Komarov family had not paid their utilities bills for months. Inside the flat, in Artyukhino Road, they found the bodies of a man and three women in two bedrooms and the kitchen."
