East Germany's former first lady Dies In Chile

The former first lady of East Germany, Margot Honecker, has been cremated in Chile a day after she died of cancer at the age of 89.

Mrs Honecker had moved to South America in 1992, three years after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
In her own country she was known as the "purple witch", after her dyed hair, and because of the communist government’s repressive regime.
