MANILA, Philippines – A fetus was found late Saturday night, placed inside a mayonnaise jar and dumped in a garbage pile in Manila.
The male fetus, between four and five months old, was discovered by 59-year-old scavenger Ernesto Gonzales while he was sifting through the garbage for materials he could salvage and sell.
Senior Police Officer 3 Dennis Paul Javier of the Manila Police District (MPD) homicide section said that the discovery was made at around 10 p.m., Saturday, at a garbage pile along Ayala Avenue in Ermita.
Javier revealed that Gonzales had picked up the mayonnaise bottle with the intention of cleaning it up and selling it but was surprised to find a fetus inside.
The scavenger immediately reported his discovery to the nearest MPD station. The fetus was brought to the St. Harold funeral parlor for safekeeping while homicide investigators conduct follow-up operations to determine who disposed of the body in the trash pile.
