Four human skulls have been discovered inside a package at a Mexican airport en route to the United States by courier.
A National Guard statement said the skulls were found wrapped in aluminum foil inside a cardboard box after being detected by X-ray equipment at the Querétaro Intercontinental Airport in downtown. Mexico.
He added that the package had been sent from the western coastal state of Michoacán and was on its way to an address in Manning, South Carolina.
The National Guard did not give further details about the age, identity or possible reason for sending the human remains.
Four human skulls wrapped in plastic and aluminum foil were detected by X-ray equipment during a National Guard inspection.
The transfer of human remains requires a special permit from a competent health authority, which was not obtained, he said.
Michoacán is one of the most violent states in Mexico, with the city of Apatzingán long dominated by the Viagras drug cartel.
The National Guard wrote on Facebook: “During inspections of packing companies and through X-ray equipment, the #NationalGuard detected at the #Querétaro Intercontinental Airport, four skulls apparently of human origin, wrapped in transparent plastic and mini aluminum foil, no health record.”
