A bitter dispute over the payment of a finder’s fee for two hikers who discovered the world famous Oetzi The Iceman mummy has finally been settled.
An Italian province agreed to pay the German couple who stumbled upon the remarkably well-preserved Stone Age hunter 150,000 euros (£119,770) – 30 times what it originally offered them as a reward.

Erika and Helmut Simon made world headlines in 1991 when they found the 5,300-year-old remains of the hunter, complete with leather shoes, fur jacket, a knife and a bow.
