For news articles which seem so much like satire that you're surprised they're not from The Onion.

Rules
  1. Headlines must exactly match the articles'.
  2. Posts must be genuine news articles, not satire, opinion, or tabloid pieces.
  3. News must be current.
  4. Popular political, religious, or social views are not Oniony, no matter how ridiculous you may think them.

I must admit that burying a corpse in a cemetery is kind of genius.

Wasn't that a plot twist on a book, movie, or TV show? I swear I've seen that trope several times. Hide the body in somebody else's grave before they're laid to rest.

It's a pretty old trope but it's usually a grave somehow connected to the murder and they get caught. Just gotta throw them off with a random grave.

Detective 1: Hey, meet me at the murder scene we just discovered.

Detective 2: On my way.

Detective 2: realise they don't know the way and looks it up on google maps

Detective 2: Oh. Solved it!
