Chinese man stopped at bus station with two human arms in bag
Man was transporting amputated arms back to his hometown for his brother who had undergone surgery
A man in southwest China gave security officers a shock when he was found at a bus station with two human arms packed in his luggage, Chinese media reported.
The 50-year-old man was caught with the limbs when he put his bag through a security scanner in Duyun in Guizhou province last week, a news website linked to the Chongqing Morning Post reported.
Security staff thought he may have been involved in a murder and immediately detained him.
The man later explained that his older brother had been electrocuted and had to have his arms amputated.
Since it was his village’s custom to bury the whole body in death, his brother asked him to carry his amputated arms back to his home so they could be stored.
