6 human heads found in floating suitcase

SIX human heads were found in a locked suitcase floating on a lake in Bengbu City, Anhui Province on Saturday morning, local media reported today.

Police ruled out the possibility of murder and suspected that they were dumped as medical waste, Xin'an Evening News reported.

A 68-year-old garbage collector fished out the suitcase in the Longzi Lake and vaguely saw human parts through an opening. The frightened woman immediately called the police.

Medical examiners found six heads and smelled a strong odor of formalin instead of rotten corpses. Cuts in their skulls appeared to be made in brain surgeries, said Shao Zhengren, professor of Bengbu Medical College.

Local police are now tracing the origin of the suitcase, which might have been stolen by a thief and abandoned later.
