Aborted fetus found on Koh Sireh

RASSADA: Villagers on Koh Sireh made a gruesome discovery on Monday, finding the corpse of an aborted fetus partially buried by the side of the main road to Koh Sireh.
Pol Maj Nanon Pitakkulthorn of Phuket City Police said that on the afternoon of March 10, a villager alerted police after he found the corpse of a fetus, probably in its fifth or six month of gestation.
The corpse, in a plastic bag, was partially buried behind an erosion-control barrier near the “monkey viewpoint” on Srisuthat Rd no less than 24 hours earlier, he said.
“We don’t know the gender of the fetus, which had no right leg,” he said.
“We don’t know why the mother has done this. Because the baby was so small, it looks like it wasn’t ready to be born. We can only assume that this was the result of some kind of abortion,” he added.
Maj Nanon declined to give further details, but said the police would continue to investigate.
