Shocking discovery: Decomposed human legs unearthed in US cardboard shipment

[webfact]

 

At a recycling facility in Chon Buri‘s Si Racha district, diligent workers stumbled upon a nightmarish find—two human legs, reduced to bare bones, concealed within a consignment of recyclable cardboard paper imported from the United States.

 

The harrowing revelation unfolded at 1pm yesterday, December 19, when the Si Racha Police Station received an urgent call regarding the grotesque discovery.

 

Rapidly responding to the distressing situation, law enforcement, accompanied by officials from the Piew Yiew Thai Si Racha Foundation, arrived at the scene. Their investigation focused on two legs, bereft of flesh, extending from the pelvis to the feet—almost entirely decomposed, yet bizarrely still donning black sneakers, reported The Nation.

 

The macabre limbs have been dispatched to the Forensic Science Institute at the Police Hospital for meticulous examination and further investigation. The discovery emerged during the sorting process of the imported recyclable cardboard paper, shipped in a container to the recycling plant.

It's those darn stray dogs again.  They get everywhere you know.

Lately smugglers have been into pork smuggling. Alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, fuels and even luxury cars in the past.

 

Human legs maybe the new growth area for smugglers.

The Human rights coucil in the UN must wake up and let stupid topics and impose sanctions on Thailand as xenophobia, murders, and crime have been increasing a lot recently, the world bank also shouldn't lend Thailand any money

If there was a murder committed here, it was not committed in Thailand. The decomposed legs were found in an incoming shipment from the US.

Weird how the comment section is full of sneaker advertisements 😂

[newbee2022]

So and now they start a questionnaire in US? Who is missing 2 legs? And black sneakers. I think this case is easy and fast to handle for RTP.😂🎄🧑‍🎄

Sad world when cardboard travels thousands of miles to be recycled. Almost as bad as food miles.

[freeworld]

Interesting!

 

The big question is who was nibbling on the legs.

So Thailand is a Western-world rubbish-recycling dump? I thought it was mainly some Black African states that had that role in life.

 

True Third World status at last.

Quite a lot of recycling is sent from the West to the far east 

[Hockeybik]

I'm certain that all of the most modern crime scene protocols were followed to the lett before the body parts were "...dispatched to the Forensic Science Institute at the Police Hospital for meticulous examination..."

[Chongalulu]

Some misunderstanding, I ordered LEGO! 

[BenStark]

So cardboard is sent from one end of the world to the other end to be recycled?

 

No wonder recycled goods cost more than others. Can't be that complicated to recycle cardboard that it can't be done in a developed country

But you probably now have at least one leg to stand on if you want to complain!

Every time you order something online it usually comes in a cardboard box. Where do you think the cardboard manufacturing plant gets its raw materials from. 🤔 We used to import waste cardboard and paper from both US and Spain, amongst others.

Sorry darling we had a party at the recycling plant. I got absolutely legless and lost those beautiful sneakers you gave me. Can you ever forgive me?

No, it is some Black African state which will be used to re-cycle illegal immigrants arriving in UK.

[spidermike007]

Did the shipment originate in New Jersey, I wonder? Infamous dumping grounds for the local mafias.

Those legs belonged to a fellow human being, someone who died, probably unpleasantly, possibly violently.
