The face of a "vampire" whose remains were posthumously mutilated to prevent them rising from the dead can be seen for the first time in more than 400 years.
Discovered in a grave at Racesa, a fortress in eastern Croatia, the body had been exhumed, beheaded and reburied face down beneath heavy stones.
And since the desecration cannot be explained by environmental factors, experts believe it was done to stop the dead man returning as a vampire.
