Because she couldn't bear to let her brother just rot without some sort of burial ceremony for him while her other brother gets the full treatment.
the guards tricked Antigone into confessing.
By scenes 1-2 Antigone buries and reburies Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone announces in the play's Prologue her intent to bury her brother Polyneices. By Scene 1 Polyneices' body partially is buried under a layer of dust. King Creon. By Scene 2 the body is re-buried, and Antigone is arrested for being the perpetrator.
Antigone's brothers are Eteocles and Polyneices.
Whether or not to bury in terms of Antigone and whether or not to arrest her in terms of the guards are the conflicts in the scene in which Antigone finds her brother not buried in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.D. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone must decide whether or not to rebury the body of her brother Polyneices. The guards must decide whether or not to let Antigone get away with burying the body. Then they must decide whether or not to capture her or let her go and brave King Creon's wrath.
I don't think so because she buried it.

No one is specified as being buried with Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the covered body of Theban Prince Haemon is brought on a bier to the Theban royal palace. This is just after Haemon kills himself after finding his beloved Princess Antigone hanging dead from her own halter and after failing to kill his father, King Creon. No mention is made as to the disposition of Antigone's body.

Because the guards saw her burying the body and Creon told the sentry to figure out who had buried the body and defied his orders or the sentry would be the one serving the death penalty.
She was buried alive.
That it is buried is what Creon says happens to Polyneices' body in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon refuses to allow the bodies of his nephew Polyneices and of the other disloyal Theban dead to be buried. He requires re-exposure of Polyneices' body both times that it is partially buried by Princess Antigone. But he ultimately reverses his non-burial edict. He says that the proper burial is done.
The first time she buried him, Creon ordered that the body be dug up again, so she buried him a second time accordingly.
She says that she has no clue who really buried the body, but that whoever did it, shall be punished.
