Human Skull Found in Box of Papers

In what may turn out to be a macabre joke, it is reported that a human skull was found on Monday afternoon in a box of folio papers, abandoned on a path in Vilaflor, in Tenerife. Experts are currently examining the remains to see if it is related to a robbery of various parts of a skeleton, on June 11th, in Arico.

Local Police collected the remains - a cranium with the lower jaw section missing - at 17:15 hours on Monday, which had been deposited on the right hand margin of the pathway El Pozo, in full view of any passersby. "The next step", says the report, "was to inform the Civil Guard of the discovery to put into action the protocol that they habitually follow when unidentified bony remains appear."

Does that mean they do habitually find them?

Sources close to the investigation say, at least until the experts suggest anything to the contrary, that the find is not related to any satanic practices or vudu.
