Russian authorities are investigating after discovering a man had married his own grandmother.

Boris Golovska, 30, married his 79-year-old grandmother Katarina in the town of Vladimir, east of Moscow.

Registry office officials reportedly failed to check whether the couple were related when they tied the knot.

The marriage has now been annulled and local prosecutors have said they are investigating the case.
