This is the chilling moment police dig out a man in his sixties who was stabbed by a boozed-up teen drinking body and buried alive in a hole in the ground.

Shocking footage shows the moment police in Glodeni, Moldova, discover the victim, incredibly still alive, buried under dirt in the village of Ustia.

It came after authorities received a report on 13th May about a 74-year-old woman who was found dead by a local resident.

Specialists from the Centre for Technical, Criminal, and Forensic Examinations who arrived at the scene determined that the elderly woman had died after being physically attacked and severely wounded.

Officers quickly identified the murder suspect, who turned out to be an 18-year-old relative of the deceased, both of whom were not named in local media.

The suspect was reportedly found in his own home in a state of intoxication.

During the search and collection of evidence, officers heard disturbing sounds coming from under the ground near the house.

They turned out to be the cries for help of a man in his sixties who was buried in a makeshift grave covered with soil.

The victim had suffered a neck wound but was alive and conscious.

He reportedly told police that two days earlier, on 11th May, he and the suspect had been drinking alcohol together.

During that time, he said an argument broke out between them and the suspect attacked him with a knife before burying him alive in the ground.

The old woman is believed to have been killed the following day, on the night of 12th May.

Further investigation is ongoing.
