Police seeking information after child's fingers found in trash bin

LILIHA (HawaiiNewsnow) - Honolulu police and CrimeStoppers are asking for the public's help after human fingers were found in a trash bin at the Kukui Gardens affordable rental housing complex in Liliha last month.

Children living at Kukui Gardens used the same word to describe how they feel after learning that a child's fingers were found in this dumpster at their housing complex.

"Scared," Renee Wong, 12 years old, said.

"I'm so scared without adults," Michaela Navarro, 12 years old, said. "Yeah, I'm scared."

"Scared and not going to trash can ever," Emily Wong, 12 years old, said.

A police source says a woman who was dumpster diving February 12th for items to recycle came across a bag and thought the contents were something she could eat, possibly ginger root, so she took the bag home. Upon closer inspection, she realized they might be fingers and notified police.
