    UBON RATCHATHANI : Police have arrested a former nurse they accuse of "pickling" aborted foetuses in bottles and selling them to buyers who wanted to turn them into Luk Krok (child ghosts) which are believed to bring them wealth.

    Police said Naengnoi Kawan, who worked at the now closed Central hospital in the province, admitted she bought the foetuses from Ura Sutthiwong, who is alleged to have performed illegal abortions.

    Fourteen bottles containing foetuses were found by a scavenger in an abandoned row house in Muang district.

    Each foetus was well preserved in bottles. Police said Ms Naengnoi told them she has pickled foetuses for a long time. They were kept at the row house while she waited for prospective buyers.

    The buyers mostly want a soul of Luk Krok, whose body is kept in a small bottle, to help them win the lottery. Police said Ms Naengnoi is a relative of Supit Kawan who owns the row house.

    Ms Supit said the building has been abandoned for 20 years and she did not know it had been used as a storehouse for the foetuses until the scavenger found them.

    Ubon Ratchathani's Muang police chief, Pol Col Apisak Dechakampu, yesterday ordered investigators to arrest Ms Ura.

They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice."-Simón Bolívar

    I used to own this domain.
    Someone else has it now, but Ebay seems to have a problem with it or something.

    I remember as a kid going to a private clinic in Bangkok and seeing jars of real pickled foetuses at the reception with labels saying how many months old they were.
