Thai police say they have found the remains of more than 2,000 foetuses, thought to be from illegal abortions, hidden at a Buddhist temple in Bangkok. The remains were discovered in the temple's mortuary in containers usually used for bodies awaiting cremation. Police were alerted by a terrible smell after the temple's furnace broke down. Two temple workers and a woman believed to have been paid to collect and dispose of foetuses from illegal abortion clinics have been arrested. The bodies, wrapped in plastic bags, were discovered in a newly opened area of the mortuary, days after authorities found 348 in another room. A 33-year-old woman has admitted taking money to collect foetuses from several clinics. She earned just over $16 (£10) for each foetus she delivered to the temple. Police said two temple workers had been charged with hiding the bodies. Abortion is illegal in Thailand unless pregnancy is the result of rape or incest or a mother's health is at risk. Police say they have begun raiding some of the 4,000 clinics in Bangkok they suspect are used to perform illegal abortions.
