Lt Col Sanich Nookon of Thalang Police arrived at the scene to find a rope still attached to the tree, while Mr Wirot’s body had been cut down and moved to his house by his family.

“After discovering her father’s body, the girl called out to her mother, Rassamee Jadsang, who called others for help to cut the rope to remove the body,” said Col Sanich.
