By way of Weird Universe we find a BBC story that’s straight out of an Eli Roth movie. In the story, two illegal immigrants reached a so-called “safe house” in Kent:

Little did they know that their deliberate vanishing which they thought would lead them into a safer life in the UK had meant they had played into the hands of human organ traders who were harvesting the organs of illegal immigrants who would be unlikely to be missed, not officially being in Britain.

When police raided the village butcher shop, one of the few in Britain to have an attached slaughterhouse, they found freezers full of human remains, though all missing vital organs that could be recycled into the organ trade.

Just, um, wow. . .

Bonus points for the following:

A representative of the Royal College of Surgeons commented that he was happy to see such an establishment closed down, but was concerned that the recent increase in availability of organs for transplant might show a significant decrease.
