Body parts found in shipping company box
- 10 years ago
Police in Thailand made a gruesome discovery Monday- packages enroute to the U.S. that contained human body parts.
Workers scanning boxes at a shipping company in Bangkok said they found a baby's head and foot parts.
They also found a heart and sheets of tattooed skin- all on their way to Las Vegas.
Officials said the description on the packages said they contained 'children's toys'.
The investigation may be considered a murder.

"Next step, which is important, we have to find out whether there is a murder involved because doctors initially found that the body parts which was a heart and the two tattooed skins have stab marks."
Two American men have been named suspects in the case although they have not been charged with any crime.
Police say both men fled the country on Sunday.
