Police in Thailand find hundreds of fetuses hidden in Wat Phai Ngern Buddhist temple: A strong odor emanating from the Wat Phai Ngern temple led police to the horrific scene Tuesday. A total of 348 dead fetuses -- wrapped in different colored plastic bags and newspapers -- were discovered in a temporary body storage area. Authorities are continuing their investigation and expect to find more fetuses in the upcoming days.
Police have already arrested undertaker Suthep Cha-bangbon, who was taken into custody and confessed to helping five clandestine abortion clinics dispose of the fetuses by cremation. No word was given on how long he had been storing the bodies or when he was planning on cremating them. Abortion is illegal in Thailand, except when the pregnancy poses a health risk to the mother, the fetus is abnormal or in cases of rape.
