Body found in Klong Bang Yai
RASSADA: The body of a man aged 20 to 30 was found floating in Klong Bang Yai near the Chokthawee fish raft in the port area around noon on Sunday.
Capt Krurg-rit Ritnuang of Phuket Police Station told the Gazette, “When I arrived at the scene, the body was still floating in the klong. Fishermen helped drag it to the fish raft, and when we lifted it out of the water we saw that his trousers were lowered as if he had fallen from a boat while he was going to the toilet.
“We found two wounds, on his shoulder and his neck, but they do not look like they caused his death, so we have to wait for the result of an autopsy,” Capt Krurg-rit said.
“No person has been reported missing in the area and we have already questioned local fishermen,” he added.
“The body is being kept at Wachira Phuket Hospital. We do not have any thing to identify him. He was about 20-30 years old, about 165 centimeters tall and he looked more Burmese than Thai.”
