Nuns killed for convent treasure
By Malcolm Brabant
BBC News, Athens

The Peloponnese is home to many historic monasteries and churches
Police in southern Greece are hunting the killers of two elderly nuns found suffocated in their hillside convent.

The motive appears to be robbery - the killers are believed to have taken a crucifix containing wood reputedly from the cross on which Jesus Christ died.

--snip--

The double murder follows last year's widely publicised theft from a convent of a precious icon of the Virgin Mary said to possess miraculous powers.
