A shocking discovery has been made in the village of Lutoryż near Rzeszów. During earthworks on a private property, an excavator operator came across human remains. According to unofficial media reports, investigators found the remains of around 30 fetuses.

The discovery was made on Thursday, June 11, during work related to the expansion of a house. After the first remains were found, police were immediately called to the scene. The area was secured, and officers, forensic technicians and a prosecutor carried out investigative work. Activities on the property continued throughout the night.

At first, media reports referred to the remains of more than a dozen fetuses. Later, according to findings by Radio Eska, the number was said to have risen to around 30. The case has shocked the local community and raised numerous questions about the origin of the remains and the circumstances in which they ended up buried on private land.

According to media reports, the previous owner of the property was a pathologist. She was said to have run a private medical practice in the area and had previously worked at one of the hospitals in Rzeszów. According to unofficial information, during questioning the woman allegedly admitted that she had buried medical waste on the property.

Investigators secured medical documentation and patient records. Their analysis is expected to help determine where the remains came from, when they may have been buried, and whether the law was violated in relation to the storage and disposal of medical waste.

At this stage, the case is particularly serious not only because of the scale of the discovery, but also because of its possible connection with medical activity. Medical waste, especially biological material, is subject to strict procedures for securing, recording and disposal. If confirmed, burying such material on private property could constitute a serious breach of sanitary safety rules and regulations governing the handling of human biological material.

At the current stage of the investigation, it will be crucial to determine whether the remains found are indeed linked to the medical documentation secured by investigators. The prosecutor’s office will also have to establish whether the actions of the former property owner were isolated incidents or continued over a longer period of time.

Residents of Lutoryż have been deeply shaken by the discovery. Services worked at the scene for many hours, and the property was cordoned off. Investigators are not revealing all details of the case for now, stressing the need to carry out further evidence-gathering procedures.

The gruesome discovery near Rzeszów may become one of the most serious cases involving the illegal handling of medical waste in the region. A final assessment, however, will only be possible after examinations, document analyses and decisions by the prosecutor’s office are completed.
