"The current resting place of Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu at Ghencea Cemetery (photographed in 2018). Note that Elena Ceausescu's year of birth is incorrectly recorded as 1919; her actual year of birth is 1916.

"Ceausescu and his wife Elena fled the capital with Emil Bobu and Manea Mănescu and flew by helicopter to Ceausescu's Snagov residence, from which they fled again, this time to Târgoviste. They abandoned the helicopter near Târgoviste, having been ordered to land by the army, which by that time had restricted flying in Romania's airspace. The Ceausescus were held by the police while the policemen listened to the radio. They were eventually turned over to the army.

"On Christmas Day, 25 December 1989, the Ceausescus were tried before a court convened in a small room on orders of the National Salvation Front, Romania's provisional government. They faced charges including illegal gathering of wealth and genocide. Ceausescu repeatedly denied the court's authority to try him, and asserted he was still legally the President of Romania. At the end of the trial, the Ceausescus were found guilty and sentenced to death. A soldier standing guard in the proceedings was ordered to take the Ceausescus outside one by one and shoot them, but the Ceausescus demanded to die together. The soldiers agreed to this and began to tie their hands behind their backs, which the Ceausescus protested against, but were powerless to prevent.

"The Ceausescus were executed by a gathering of soldiers: Captain Ionel Boeru, Sergeant-Major Georghin Octavian and Dorin-Marian Cîrlan, while reportedly hundreds of others also volunteered. Before his sentence was carried out, Nicolae Ceausescu sang "The Internationale" whilst being led up against the wall. The firing squad began shooting as soon as the two were in position against a wall.

"Later that day, the execution was also shown on Romanian television.[56] The hasty show trial and the images of the dead Ceausescus were videotaped and the footage released in numerous Western countries two days after the execution.

"The manner in which the trial was conducted has been criticized. However, Ion Iliescu, Romania's provisional president, said in 2009 that the trial was "quite shameful, but necessary" in order to end the state of near-anarchy that had gripped the country in the three days since the Ceausescus fled Bucharest.[57] Similarly, Victor Stănculescu, who had been defense minister before going over to the revolution, said, in 2009, that the alternative would have been seeing the Ceau sescus lynched on the streets of Bucharest.

"The Ceausescus were the last people to be executed in Romania before the abolition of capital punishment on 7 January 1990.

"Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu were originally buried in simple graves at Ghencea Cemetery, in Bucharest, on opposite sides of a path; their graves were often decorated with flowers and symbols of communist rule. In April 2007, their son, Valentin Ceausescu, lost an appeal for an investigation into whether the graves were genuine. Upon his death in 1996, the younger son, Nicu, was buried nearby in the same cemetery.[60] According to the Jurnalul Na ional,[61] requests were made by the Ceaus escus' daughter, Zoia, and by supporters of their political views, to move their remains to mausoleums or to purpose-built churches. These demands were denied by the government."

Exhumation and reburial
"On 21 July 2010, forensic scientists exhumed the bodies to perform DNA tests to prove conclusively that they were indeed the remains of the Ceausescus. The body believed to be Elena's had decayed too much to allow for a positive identification, but Nicolae was easily identifiable, wearing the bullet-riddled black winter coat he had been wearing during the execution. DNA tests were able to conclusively prove his identity. His family organized a funeral service for the couple, and they were reburied together at Ghencea under a tombstone."
