An 800-year-old "crusader" from a crypt in a Dublin church has been decapitated by vandals.
Archdeacon David Pierpoint said the crusader's head had been "severed from his body and taken away".
The discovery was made as a tour guide was preparing to open the church for visitors on Monday afternoon.
Archdeacon Pierpoint said he was upset and disappointed that the church had been targeted again by vandals.
The crypt of St Michan's was vandalised in 1996.
Always very sad when something like this happens . Can't they just allow the dead to rest in peace?
I just hope the crusader's head is found soon, and reunited with the rest of his body...
