34 Human Fetuses Found in Polish Doctor's Garden
Prosecutors say the doctor admitted burying the foetuses and may face up to 12 years in prison as investigators examine hospital records.
- On Monday, prosecutors announced the discovery of 34 human fetuses buried at a former property in Lutoryz, southeastern Poland, leading authorities to detain the 57-year-old medical pathologist who previously owned the home.
- Construction work last Wednesday uncovered medical waste in the garden, prompting a major search involving dozens of police officers, cadaver dogs, and ground-penetrating radar at the property.
- Investigators recovered tens of thousands of microscope slides and paraffin blocks from the 5,382 sq. plot; Radio Eska reports the doctor allegedly removed remains from a Rzeszow hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic to conduct home experiments.
- Prosecutor Krzysztof Ciechanowski stated there is currently no evidence linking Magdalena H. to illegal abortions, though she faces up to 12 years in prison if convicted on charges of desecrating remains and abandoning hazardous waste.
- The case has drawn intense attention in Poland, a country with some of Europe's strictest abortion laws, while investigators plan to conduct DNA analysis to determine the identities of the remains.
