saddest story
human foetuses found in the trash
•The• refuse collectors in Hua Hin do an unpleasant job at the best of times, but the discovery on Tuesday hua hin
this week of four human foetuses in black plastic rubbish sacks at a refuse collection point off the Canal Rioad would have been horrific for even the longest serving of these hard working individuals. The remains were found at the Ruam Sook housing estate on Soi Cholaprathan 68, police said. Pol Lt Col Samer Yusamran, deputy chief of Hua Hin police station, said investgators were checking surveillance camera footage, hoping to see who dumped the bags and to track them down. The foetuses were probably from an illegal abortion service, but such a discovey was new in Hua Hin, he said. It has been estimated that their development was between three and eight months. The police also revealed that no organs had been removed, which at least, for the most part, rules out the dark practice of organ harvesting. Abortion is legal in Thailand, and has been for some years, so if the initiual suspicions of the origin of these remains is correct, it adds another level of despair to this discovery, as there are clinics and hospitals that are able to carry out the procedure at relatively low cost, and even free in certain circumstances. There are women or girls who may well be at risk to their physical health as well as the inevitable mental turmoil any woman goes through after such procedures. If anybody suspects they might know who they are, they should be encouraged to go to see a doctor as soon as possible. It must be hoped that if the police are able to track down the background and individuals involved in this situation, that they can both prosecute anyone who has committed a crime and help the women who found themselves in such a sad situation. We hope that this is the last time we ever have to report on such a desperate story, but we will, of course, let our readers know of any further information that results from the police investigation.
