Second body part mailed to Conservative Party HQ
News ServicesMay 30, 2012
Ottawa police say a second package containing a body part has been found just hours after a stunned Conservative party receptionist opened a bloodsoaked box containing a human foot.
The first was found Tuesday morning in a package that had been delivered to the party's headquarters a few scant blocks from Parliament Hill.
An accelerating Ottawa police investigation led authorities to intercept a second suspicious package containing yet another severed human body part. Media reports said the package, containing a human hand, was not addressed to the Tory headquarters. Police released no other details about the second find beyond a bland assurance that the major crime unit continues to investigate.
"It's a very bizarre and horrible incident, if it's true,'' said Bob Rae, the Liberal party's interim leader.
