Two westerners held for sending mail boxes containing human parts

Two westerners who tried to send three mail boxes containing human parts of an infant to the United States told police that they bought the human parts from a night market at the Memorial Bridge.

The two men whose identities were not disclosed were invited for interrogation by the police after an official of the DHL mail delivery service told police he received the three mail boxes from them. An X-ray of one of the three boxes however showed half of a skull of a baby so the three mail boxes were withtheld and the police were called in to investigate.

Pol Maj-Gen Chavalait Prasobsilp, commander of the 5th division of Metropolitan Police Bureau, said today that the two foreigners who were interrogated said that they could not remember where they exactly bought the human body parts claiming that it was their first time in Thailand.

He said that it was not known who the receiver of the three mail boxes was and what the human parts were meant for.

However, more people will have to be questioned, he said, adding that a meeting of officers concerned would be held tomorrow to discuss the case.

Meanwhile, the body of a nine-month old infant was found dumped in a garbage bin in Klong Toey market. The infant was believed to have died three days ago.
