Police seek 2 suspects for dumping woman’s body near cassava farm

Police are searching for two suspects, one women and one man, who dumped the corpse of an unidentified woman near a cassava farm in the central province of Uthai Thani yesterday.

Officers from Lansak Police Station were alerted to the discovery of the dead body at around 3pm yesterday, October 20. The body was found on the side of the road near the cassava farm in the Lansak district of Uthai Thani province. The deceased was a woman aged between 30 and 40, with red hair.

Amarin TV reported that the woman had no personal documents with her. She was strangled to death, evidenced by marks on her neck. Her head was covered with a black shirt, and her legs and arms were tied with red ropes. Her body was concealed under a pink blanket.

Residents informed police that they noticed a brand-new white van driving past their homes and entering the road alongside the cassava farm. The suspicious man and woman exited the vehicle and walked into the cassava field.

A local man, 65 year old Daeng, told Matichon and the police that he saw the van parked at the location where the body was later found but did not pay any attention to the vehicle. He did not expect such an incident to happen in the community.

Daeng also suggested that the deceased was not a resident of the area and was likely murdered elsewhere before being dumped at the scene.

The police are reviewing security cameras in an attempt to identify the two suspects. They located the suspicious van, which was parked at a nearby resort. The suspects had just checked out of the hotel this morning, October 21.

Police urged any families with missing relatives to contact officers or Park Mueang Hospital in the province to assist in identifying the woman. The body is currently undergoing an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
