Video captures sex acts on grave

DISGRACEFUL sex act videos involving a grave and a live trout, believed to be filmed by the same two Tasmanians, have sparked outrage across the state and are now at the centre of a police investigation.

The Mercury was sent footage of a man and woman fornicating on a Northern Midlands grave belonging to a Tasmanian artist who died in the 1980s.

The video, which is too graphic to be published, went viral throughout the state on social media platforms.

The concerned resident who sent the video said: “I find this extremely disgusting, and I hope the news reaches the family of whose grave it is.”

The video depicts a woman, wearing just an unbuttoned orange shirt, on her back on top of a grave at Pisa St Mark’s Anglican Cemetary at Cressy.

A male filming then approaches and begins to have intercourse with her.

“Well, there’s someone’s grave. It’s a grave babe,” the male says. “We’re going to f--k on the grave, that’s where it’s at.”

The woman adds “to the souls of the faithfully departed, may they rest in peace”.

Other lines spoken by the pair are too graphic to report.

Investigations have revealed the grave is that of David Hammond Chapman.

Mr Chapman was a Tasmanian artist, popular in his time, who was born in Ballarat in 1927. He died at Cressy on December 8, 1983.

A spokeswoman for Tasmania Police said they had been made aware of the video.

“No formal report has been made to Tasmania Police regarding the video, and it is unknown if the matter occurred in Tasmania,” she said.

A second video features a woman, believed to be the same woman from the grave video, lying on a boat at sea while a male uses a live trout to perform a sexual act on her.

Tasmania Police said they were investigating the video.
