A MAN who auctioned monkey heads and leopard skulls on eBay has been handed a suspended prison sentence.
George Bush, 63, admitted offering hundreds of imported animal body parts – including 134 separate pieces of monkey carcass – for sale on eBay.
The tattooed convict imported the specimens, many of which were protected species, from Indonesia.
Detectives discovered Bush’s ruse after a tip-off from the UK Border Force led them to eBay listings for the body parts.
The illegal haul included four monkey heads, a baby macaque skeleton, and two leopard cat skulls.
Bush, from Erith in south-east London, also pleaded guilty at Woolwich Crown Court to possession of over 70 extreme pornographic images featuring bestiality – but avoided jail.
He received a 14 month prison sentence suspended for two years.
He said: “Those illegally trading in wildlife products should be in no doubt - we will target you at the UK border and beyond.”
