The 52-year old was arrested in the Croatian town of Slavonski Brod on suspicion of possessing human body organs.
Local police raided the suspects' apartment where they found numerous human penises soaking in formaldehyde. The solution stopped the organs from rotting.
As a nurse, the suspect had easy access to the hospital morgue where police believe he severed the penises from deceased males and took them home.
