Footage shows the nun, 80,
walking along a residential street as she struggles to pull the huge suitcase
behind her. The woman, who has not been named, walked past a home where she was
recorded on their security system.
Local reports in Chile say that
a horrified passerby later found the body of the second nun, aged 58, in the
case on April 8 and called police.
The CCTV video emerged after
police began a full-scale murder hunt over what they first believed was a drugs
cartel killing in Santiago.
Investigators at first believed
the body had been dumped by a gang. Only for authorities to look at CCTV in the
area to discover that it had been abandoned by a nun.
It later emerged that the case
had contained the corpse of a fellow 58-year-old nun who had apparently died of
natural causes a year ago.
Her fellow sister told police
that the pair had made a pact to take care of each other beyond death.
Officer Juan Fonseca said the
dead nun had been kept in a case as an act of 'affection and loyalty'.
The situation only changed when
the 80-year-old nun's daughter visited and decided the woman should be laid to
rest, investigators concluded.
An autopsy showed no signs of deliberate
killing, police said.
Local media reports that the
80-year-old nun was not arrested but could be charged with violations of the
health code.
It later emerged that both
women did not belong to a formal religious order but were 'consecrated
laywomen' who lived a cloistered life in habits and robes.
A police investigation is
ongoing.
