Four human skulls destined for the United States have been discovered in a package at an airport in Mexico, custom officials have revealed. The Express reports that officers from Mexico’s National Guard made the grim discovery as the unidentified remains passed through X-ray equipment in a cardboard box.
The National Guard said the package originated from the western coastal state of Michoacan - one of the most violent parts of the country - and was destined for an address in Manning, South Carolina.
The National Guard gave no further details on the age, identity or possible motive for the sending of the human remains. But it said that transferring human remains requires a special permit from a competent health authority which was not obtained.
