Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: A certain woman's lover (often a clergyman or a monk) is killed by her angry husband, or a man (clergyman, occasionally a woman) is killed by accident (on purpose, is murdered). The wife (married couple, bystanders, murderer) secretly leaves the body by the neighbors' door. The neighbor thinks it is a robber (adulterer) and "kills" it again. To cover up this murder, the neighbor takes the body to a monastery (and puts it in the abbot's room, or on a toilet), where it is "killed" again because it will not speak [K2152]. This "murderer" puts the body into a sack and throws it into the river. Fishermen find it and hang it in a shop (put it in a boat or on a sledge, or tie it on a horse and drive it into a field or into a crockery shop), and the shopkeeper "kills'" it again [K2151]. Cf. Type 1536C. Often the trickster (the first murderer) blackmails the subsequent "murderers" for not exposing their "murders". Cf. Type 1536A.
