Routine work that led to horror discovery of 29 unborn baby bodies and arrest

Routine work that led to horror discovery of 29 unborn baby bodies and arrest Authorities have arrested a woman after dozens of human foetuses were discovered while construction workers were carrying out routine work at a couple's home Construction workers who were simply doing their job made a horror discovery of 29 human foetuses that ultimately led to an arrest. The horrific discovery in Lutoryż, Poland sparked a major investigation that shocked the country. Construction workers came across the remains while they were digging a driveway on a private plot when they uncovered "a significant amount of medical waste, mainly paraffin blocks and microscope slides," reports the local prosecutors office. Polish news agency PAP said the suspect, Magdalena H. in Zamość, 57, was arrested on June 12 following an investigation and faces charges for the desecration of human remains as well as the unlawful disposal of hazardous materials. Should she be convicted, Magdalena could be sentenced to a prison term from two to 12 years. Polish authorities said in a statement the babies were found "among the discovered debris was a human foetus and other remains that could have been early-stage human foetuses or their fragments. "Medical experts were dispatched to the scene and confirmed that the recovered remains were those of human foetuses." Investigators later assured the property's current owners had purchased the plot from the suspect, who is a pathologist. The young couple who own the property are not part of the investigation. Unofficial reports said there were at least 13 small bodies that were found, but that was just the beginning. Polish media has since suggested there could be as many as 30 foetuses that have been dug up. Police at the scene have not yet made an official statement but it was "confirmed that the secured remains were those of human foetuses." The neighbourhood around where the remains were found has become a full-scale forensic zone. Police tents and specialist teams were seen in the area as more remains were found. Forensic crews wore masks as they investigated soil around the house. An excavator was used to dig up soil that was then tested for DNA matches. "I don't even know what this woman does," one villager said, reports The Sun. I knew her by sight." Another added the suspect was "a bit strange," although they could not add why when pressed. The pathologist is understood to have bought the house about two years ago and sold it to the couple six months ago.
