Police Arrest Man for Stealing Five Corpses and Storing it in His Home

Amador Medina
 
A man in Connecticut has been arrested by the police for stealing five human bodies and storing the corpes in his home. The Hartford man is believed to have stolen the corpses from a Massachusetts cemetery.
 
Authorities believe the man identified as Amador Medina was storing the skeletal remains for his religious practices, the AP reports. The cops believe 32-year-old Medina was using the bones as part of healing rituals related to the Caribbean religion of Santeria.
 
Medina was arrested Friday afternoon as a fugitive from justice from Massachusetts. According to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, a Massachusetts arrest warrant for Medina includes five counts of disinterment of bodies.
 
A passerby first noticed in October that a mausoleum in the cemetery had been disturbed. Investigators subsequently discovered that a chain securing the mausoleum had been cut. They also found out that the five set of remains were missing. Police were then tipped off to to what were believed to be human remains in Medina's apartment.
 
He was subsequently arrested. Police said Medina cooperated and showed them where the remains were stored. Authorities said the investigation was still ongoing.
