Body parts found in shark
BANGKOK (AP) -- Thai commercial fishermen unloading a catch received a shock when they noticed a human leg sticking out of the mouth of a shark, police said Monday.
Fishermen made the grisly discovery when the trawler Veeraphap Poonphol 14 returned Sunday to its home port of Samut Prakan, 30 kilometres south of Bangkok. They also found a man's right forearm in the shark's stomach.
Lt.-Col. Somchai Sopacharoen of Samut Prakan police station told The Associated Press that the 3.7-metre-long white shark was captured in Indonesian waters about a week ago by a bigger vessel, the Sap Charoen Sap 4, which offloaded its catch to the Veeraphap Poonphol.
The right forearm and left leg probably were from an Asian man, said Dr. Pattana Kitraj of the Police Forensic Institute.
The limbs, which bore several bite marks, had just started to decay, indicating they had been in the shark's stomach between one to two weeks, he said.
Pattana said he believed the shark ate the parts a day or two before being caught, after which the shark's carcass was kept in the ship's deep freeze.
The DNA of the limbs was to be tested in case any claims are made about the victim's identity, Pattana said. http://www.canoe.ca/CNEWS/shark_june17-ap.html
