According to him, “Juanita” is his “spiritual friend”, which the Peruvian “settled” at home and sometimes “endured to show to friends.”

With him, the young man had a delivery box from the Pedidos Ya company. In it, the police found human remains wrapped in soft skin, like those of mummies, located in the fetal position.
The young man called the mummy “his certain spiritual friend”, because for some time he lived with her. The remains themselves seemed to belong to his father and were usually in a box by the TV. How exactly the mummy ended up with him is not exactly known.
The Ministry of Culture said that the remains, classified as historical property, could be identified. This is a mummified adult male, probably from the eastern region of Puno. Previously, he was 45 years old, and the growth was about 1.51 m.

According to the Peruvian, the mummy was kept in the house of his parents, and he took out the remains to show his friends.
The police confiscated the mummy and turned it over to the ministry. The courier himself and his friends have been detained and are under investigation due to their connection with possible crimes against the country’s cultural heritage.
Previously, Focus wrote about another mummy, namely the “Golden Boy”, who continues to reveal his secrets.
