Over 2000 Dead Babies Found in Thai Buddhist Temple
November 20th, 2010 - 1:50 am ICT by BNO NewsNov 19 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The pictures are grim. Bag after bag of unwanted babies wrapped in white plastic with red markings. Over two thousand tiny bodies have been found in a Buddhist temple located in Thailand after a police raid on the place of worship which occurred earlier in the week.
It was first reported on Tuesday by newspapers that they had found 348 fetuses which had been wrapped in plastic bags, after the alarming smell had alerted police to be called to the Wat Phai Ngern temple located in Bangkok. The sum total soon soared as the search became more extensive, and hundreds more babies were found stored in the temple’s vaults, according to the Associated Press.
The Thai police stated that two of the morticians from the temple were hired by underground clinics to “get rid of” the babies, who had been aborted illegally. Suchart Poomee, who is one of the undertakers from the temple, admitted to collecting the dead babies ever since November of last year.
She and another worker were arrested and charged with concealing the cause of death, and hiding bodies, which can lead up to one year in jail. Lamjakorn Jantamanas, who is a employee for an abortion clinic faces up to five years for performing the abortions in an unlicensed clinic.
The temple workers received under four dollars each to hide the dead babies.
