A macabre discovery made a few days ago in Lutoryż, near Rzeszów, has sparked a huge public outcry. On private land that previously belonged to a pathologist, buried remains of human foetuses and medical waste were found.
'On 10 June 2026, the District Prosecutor's Office in Rzeszów was notified that significant quantities of items constituting medical waste, mainly paraffin blocks and microscope slides, had been uncovered on a property in the village of Lutoryż,' said Krzysztof Ciechanowski, spokesperson for the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Rzeszów, in a statement (source in Polish).
'According to the findings so far, these items were discovered during groundworks carried out on the property. Among the waste uncovered were a human foetus and other remains believed to be those of early-stage foetuses or foetal fragments. Expert medical examiners were sent to the scene and confirmed that the secured remains are the remains of human foetuses,' the prosecutor added.
