Woman narrowly avoids jail after plotting to sell dead man's toes online

A Melbourne woman has been convicted but avoided jail after she retrieved a dead man's toes from a bin at an animal shelter where she was working.

The 48-year-old mother believed she could sell the human remains for about $400 online.

Joanna Kinman has been sentenced to an 18-month community corrections order, after avoiding jail by "the barest of possible margins".

I'm sorry, but she has to be the dumbest person that I ever heard about in my lifetime.

1. Why would she want to handle them?
2. Did she think there was someone out there collecting or shopping for toes?
3, Did she think someone might want to buy them to replace their own toes?
4. Did she actually think that someone would be crazy enough to pay $400 for a dead person's toes?
5. She researched it?
6. Did she type in Google, "What is the most people will pay for a dead person's toes?"
7. Was she going to try to sell them as a set, instead of selling them individually?

A Melbourne woman retrieved a dead man's toes from an animal shelter bin, thinking it was "cool" and that she could sell them online for $400, a court has heard.
3838b7744d1a6644c5d9f260a6d0ec06

In a case described as "astounding" and "distressing" by a magistrate, Joanna Kinman was convicted but dodged a jail sentence on Monday.

The 48-year-old mother of five from Lilydale, in Melbourne's east, pleaded guilty to offensive conduct involving human remains.

The Ringwood Magistrates' Court heard Kinman, 48, was working as a ranger at a Melbourne animal shelter when two dogs were brought in last year.

Prosecutor Melissa Sambrooks said the dogs belonged to a man who had been dead for "some time", and that his pets had eaten some of the corpse before it was discovered.

The dogs "became ill and vomited up human remains" when they were taken to the shelter, the officer said.

In a police interview, Kinman admitted taking the toes and that she intended to sell them or give them away.

"I thought, cool, it's a toe," she told detectives.

During a search of Kinman's home, police found the toes suspended in a jar of liquid preservatives on a shelf. Kinman had also displayed a guinea pig trotter, a bird skull, an alligator claw and her own children's teeth.

The court heard Kinman was an "avid contributor" of a Facebook group where specimens were traded. Police said she had previously sold "wet specimens" of a stillborn puppy and kitten and was in possession of a book titled A History of Punishment and Torture.


Detective Andrew Austin said the dead man's son was aware of what Kinman had done with the remains, but that other close relatives were not told because they would have been too distraught.

I'm astounded...this woman is clearly a danger to society.. and she was spared jail....:eek:

Peoples are the weirdest of creatures!

My grandfather was a pilot back in the day, WWI and after... he died when he crashed flying in snowstorm in the early 30's. My grandmother showed me some memorabilia/keepsakes which included a newspaper article about the crash. Among other details it said that the police were going house to house demanding that people give back things they took away from the wreckage, including his body parts... ugh!!

Why were a [man's] toes in a bin @ an animal shelter ??
 
Does she have any idea how long the toes were in the bin? There is only a certain amount of time that fingers, toes and other body parts can be reattached without complications.
she wasn't looking to have them reattached. She was hoping to sell them on a wierd human parts internet site...

Doesn't that blow your mind that there's a website where people can buy human body parts ?
 
Its time for people to look into the satanic blood cults that are in the world re the Freemasons lodges, there is a lot of info out there, the world is just a haven for devil worshipers, this is why so many children have gone missing /trafficked. animals and human bones are being bought by they satanists.
