Swiss prosecutors said Friday they had opened a criminal investigation after an alleged care-home nurse posted pictures of herself on Facebook sitting next to the corpse of an old woman.

Prosecutors in the eastern region of Saint Gallen told Swiss news agency ATS that the suspected offence was disturbing the peace of the dead, a crime carrying up to three years in prison.

In a string of pictures revealed Friday by the 20 Minuten newspaper — which said they had been spotted by a reader — a woman in a nurse’s uniform was seen laughing and posing at the bedside of a dead woman.

The pictures were accompanied by off-colour comments.

Later Friday, the tabloid Blick said it had managed to identify the woman as an immigrant from the Philippines who was married to a Swiss man.

The newspaper said the woman worked as a cook not a nurse, and was also offered sado-masochist services.
