Unidentified man’s body found in Bangkok ditch: Gruesome mystery unfolds

A deceased man, aged between 30 and 40 years old, was discovered in a ditch in Soi Tha Kham 20, Bang Khun Thian District, Bangkok. The body, shot six times and showing several stabbing wounds, was hidden under leaves, presumably to avoid detection by locals. The man, wearing a brown T-shirt with an image of Luang Por Thong Klueng of Wat Chedi Hoi, Pathum Thani, and long jeans, had been dead for no less than two days.

The gruesome discovery was made around 10am today, by a local woman who had initially thought the offensive odour was emanating from a dead dog. The local police and forensic experts were immediately notified. Upon inspection, it was found that the deceased was also wearing a black Casio watch and a silver ring. A keyring and nail clippers were found in his jeans pocket.

Residents in the area, who wish to remain anonymous, mentioned that they had not recognised the man, indicating that he was likely not from the area. Additionally, they revealed that labourers often gather in the vacant land for drinking sessions. However, they had not heard anything unusual in the past two to three days, reported KhaoSod.

Inspector Sompol Boontha of Tha Kham Police Station is leading the investigation. Initial suspicions suggest that the man was likely killed elsewhere and his body dumped on this vacant land to conceal the crime. CCTV footage from the area is being reviewed to identify possible vehicles and escape routes of the culprits.

Meanwhile, the body has been sent to Siriraj Hospital for an autopsy and DNA testing. Anyone with information or who believes they may know the deceased is urged to contact Tha Kham Police Station, available 24 hours.

Locals are shocked by the discovery and are cooperating with the police to uncover the truth behind this horrifying crime.
