Doctors face charges today as Lodz police continue arrests in corpse scandal

Following recent revelations regarding the gruesome trade in corpses by the Lodz emergency services, the city's police have detained several more suspects. A number of funeral parlor employees and paramedics have been arrested, along with at least three doctors. All are accused of murder "resulting from particularly reproachable motives." The local prosecutor's office has already filed charges against several of the people arrested and, according to Lodz police organized crime department spokesperson Jolanta Badziak, charges will be filed today against two of the doctors arrested. Former emergency service employees are still revealing fresh evidence implicating colleagues who intentionally neglected patients and even d eliberately caused death in order to obtain money for the corpses from funeral parlors.
