LONDON: Vandals have damaged the London tomb of Karl Marx in what the cemetery said on Tuesday appeared to be a sustained and targeted attack.
A marble plaque with the names of Marx and his family – the monument’s oldest and most fragile part – was repeatedly hit with a blunt metal instrument, Ian Dungavell, who runs the cemetery trust, told AFP on Tuesday.
The damage was reported to the police on Monday.
“The name of Karl Marx seems to have been particularly singled out, so it wasn’t just a random smashing up of a monument — it seems a very targeted attack,” said Dungavell, chief executive of the Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust, the charity which runs the graveyard. Dungavell said the repair attempts would require a specialist stone restorer and an expert to reinstate the lettering. (AFP)
