From April 2001:
Officials in Chisinau on 3 April said two people had been arrested on suspicion of having attempted to sell human remains from a hospital as dog meat, RFE/RL's Chisinau bureau reported. Two beggars were detained late last week at a market with two bags of "suspicious meat," which tests later proved to be human remains. Police believe the remains had been dumped in a municipal litter bin near a hospital that specializes in the treatment of cancer. The hospital "suspended" on suspicion of "negligence" one of its employees. MS |
