It’s not a murder charge, but it sure isn’t pretty. Hans Kristian Rausing, the billionaire to the Tetra Pak fortune, was charged Tuesday with preventing the lawful and decent burial of his wife’s body. Eva Rausing's remains were discovered in the couple’s home after her husband was stopped under suspicion of driving under the influence last week. The heiress’s father, former Pepsi executive Tom Kemeny, defended Hans Kristian Rausing in a statement Tuesday saying “Eva and Hans Kristian were a devoted and loving couple for the 21 years they spent together.” A postmortem by investigators failed to issue a formal cause of the heiress’s death.
