KOH SIREH: The body of an unidentified man was discovered in the Tha Chin river near Koh Sireh November 26.

The body is believed to be that of an Indonesian or Burmese laborer who was attacked and then thrown into the sea, said Pol Lt Amporn Musikapan from Phuket City Police Station.

Lt Amporn said, “I got a call on the police radio at 10:05 am that a body had been found floating in the river around Jien Wanich pier. I went straight to the scene.”

“When I arrived, I was told that the body had floated from Jien Wanich pier along the river to Koh Sireh bridge. I asked the crowd at the scene, but nobody could identify the body,” he added.

Lt Amporn said that there were stab wounds to the neck of the body and that the man may have been dead for about two days.

“Police are waiting for an autopsy report from Vachira Phuket Hospital before the investigation can continue,” added Lt Amporn.
