Two women who were arrested after trying to take a dead relative on to a plane will not face charges. Gitta Jarant and her daughter, Anke Anusic, were arrested at Liverpool John Lennon Airport when it emerged Curt Willi Jarant, 91, was dead. The women – his widow and stepdaughter – protested their innocence and said they thought he was asleep. Greater Manchester Police revealed on Friday the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) had decided not to prosecute. Mr Jarant, known as Willi, was wearing sunglasses in a wheelchair when staff checked his pulse and found no signs of life. He had been taken by taxi to the airport from their home in Oldham, Greater Manchester, by Mrs Jarant, 66, and 41-year-old Mrs Anusic. Although the pair insisted he was alive, a pathologist called out to examine the body concluded he had been dead for up to 36 hours.
