PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Scavengers found 10 human skulls Monday in a trash heap the second such grisly find in as many days in Haiti's capital, where authorities speculated that the bones may have come from a Voodoo ritual.
The skulls were inside plastic buckets along a busy road in an eastern district of Port-au-Prince, bystanders said. Two U.N. civilian police could be seen trying to match the skulls with several sets of jaw bones also found in the dump, littered with tin cans, old shoes and a child's doll.
Authorities may have to call in experts from outside the country to determine the age of the skulls, which were to be turned over to Haiti's national police, U.N. civilian police spokesman Marc Jacquet said.
