Booby-trapped bodies: Russia is returning fallen soldiers packed with explosives
Just when you think the depths of absolute depravity have been thoroughly mapped, our neighbors find a way to dig even deeper. Literally.
Our forensic teams and police are now having to double as bomb disposal units. Investigators from the police department in Kirovohrad region revealed that during the initial inspection of repatriated bodies returned to Ukraine, they have repeatedly found explosives and active grenades hidden inside the remains.
Let that sink in. Someone on the other side is actively and carefully booby-trapping the bodies of dead soldiers before handing them over in exchanges. In Chernivtsi, medical examiners literally found a live grenade inside a soldier's body during an autopsy. That is not just a war crime; it is some medieval, cartoonish villainy designed to kill the forensic scientists and investigators trying to identify our guys.
As if playing minesweeper with human remains wasn't enough, investigators like Taras Tarasenko also have to deal with mixed remains. Often, they find parts of several people mixed together, requiring painstaking DNA testing just to return the right names to the right families.
An enemy so terrified of the living that they try to murder the doctors who exhume the dead.
