LONDON - A team of documentary film makers will tonight show what they claim is conclusive evidence that the embalmed body of Evita Peron, who died in 1952, was mutilated and abused four years after her death by an army colonel who was obsessed with her corpse.
An hour long Channel Four programme will show snapshots taken by her husband, Gen Juan Peron, of her body in 1971 when it was finally returned to him in Madrid, where he lived in exile. The pictures, kept in the family until now, reveal a broken nose, a gash on her right cheek and marks on her forehead.
