Foetuses taken to Ban Phaew cemetery
Some 2,002 human foetuses discovered at Bangkok's Wat Phai Ngern Chotanaram in November 2010, which led to the arrest of two undertakers and an illegal abortion clinic nurse, were sent to a cemetery in Samut Sakhon's Ban Phaew district yesterday.
About 100 rescue workers moved the foetuses to be buried in the Por Tek Teung Foundation cemetery, where a merit making was held. The 44-rai cemetery took unclaimed bodies for burial, until 3-5 years passed and the graves were deemed full, and the bodies cleaned and stored prior to a mass cremation.
From 1936-2004, the cemetery had held 11 mass cremations for 148,821 bodies.
