New Zealand family unwittingly buys suitcases filled with body partsBy Snejana Farberov

An unsuspecting family in New Zealand bought suitcases at a storage facility auction last week — only to find dismembered human body parts stuffed inside.
The unlucky bidders called police to their home on Moncrieff Avenue in South Auckland on Thursday afternoon after opening their newly purchased luggage and making the grisly discovery, a local police official confirmed.
Cops do not believe the family that had purchased the bags as part of an online storage locker auction in Papatoetoe was involved in what is now being investigated as a suspected homicide.
The website Newshub reported the suitcases possibly contained multiple sets of remains, and police were trying to determine the exact number of victims and identify them.
“The priority for police is to confirm the identification of the deceased so that we can establish the full circumstances behind the discovery,” Detective Inspector Tofilau Faamanuia Vaaelua said.
