yes, there are many laws about respecting a cadaver and respecting the family of the deceased.
Far to many to mention as some of them come under the public order acts and some of them are criminal acts.

You most definitely can be prosecuted. I cant recall the exact name of the offence but its a serious crime in the UK x

Is this what you had in mind?
Necrophilia
It is an offence to penetrate sexually any part of the body of a dead person with the penis, any part of the body or an object.
The maximum penalty is two years imprisonment.

Oh, yeah.
If you shoot a dead body in the head, but you didn't know it was already dead, you can be convicted of Attempted Murder. The fact that the crime of Murder was impossible is no defense.

Yes......troops would be severely punished for desecrating the remains of enemy soldiers (and have been). this also extends to civilians

depends if your actions caused the live body to become a dead one.!!
and you continued to assault the "dead person"
