Human skeleton found in luggage

March 13th 2008

Munich, Germany-a woman was stopped at a Munich airport after baggage security found a skeleton sealed in a plastic bag in her luggage, police said today.

The skeleton was of her brother stated the 62-year-old woman. She attempted to board the flight with her 63-year-old friend. Both live in Italy and were unfortunately dragged into airport police Tuesday when the security scan of the bag detailed a human skull and additional human bones.

I say unfortunately dragged because it turns out the woman was trying to carry out the last wish of her late brother who died in Sao Paulo, Brazil 11 years ago. His last wish was to be buried in Italy.

After being questioned, the travelers produced appropriate papers and documents from Brazilian authorities for the extraordinary transport, and were permitted to travel onto Naples.
