Police have intensified their search for a 35-year-old Myanmar national after CCTV footage allegedly captured him fleeing a Bangkok apartment where the dismembered body of his girlfriend was later discovered concealed inside a plastic storage box.

The latest developments follow the discovery of the body of 34-year-old Myanmar waitress Aye Aye Nwe, inside an apartment in Soi Ratchaprarop 14, Makkasan, Ratchathewi district. Investigators found the victim’s torso and upper legs inside a large black plastic container sealed with plastic wrapping, while her head, arms and lower legs remain missing.

Authorities have identified the main suspect as Aung Pyae, 35, a Myanmar national who worked as a cook at a pub in the Phetchaburi area and was the victim’s boyfriend. Police say he fled after the killing and is now the subject of an arrest warrant issued by a Bangkok court.

According to investigators, relatives reported the victim missing after losing contact with her. She was last believed to have been seen alive on 5 June after being collected from work by her boyfriend. Police also reported that the couple had allegedly argued before her disappearance.

CCTV footage obtained from outside the apartment building shows the suspect on 10 June at 8.33pm, according to the camera timestamp. He was seen wearing a light-coloured long-sleeved jacket, a dark cap, long trousers and trainers while appearing agitated.

The footage allegedly shows him running from the apartment carrying a large black bag containing a round shaped object, possibly the victim’s head and another smaller shoulder bag before boarding a public van with a yellow registration plate that had stopped nearby. Investigators believe the vehicle was booked to assist his escape from the area.

Police from Metropolitan Police Division 1 and Din Daeng Police Station are continuing to examine CCTV footage and gather evidence. The suspect is wanted on charges of intentional murder, concealing or moving a corpse to hide the cause of death, and damaging a body.

Daily News reported that the case has attracted significant public attention due to the nature of the crime and the fact that several parts of the victim’s remains have not yet been recovered. Forensic teams continue to search for the missing body parts while immigration authorities have been alerted as part of efforts to locate and arrest the suspect.

Poor woman. RIP

Ewwwww, that's my street and neighborhood. My apartment is full of Burmese. I know where that location is. Glad I'm not there now, I'm in the US for the summer. What a horror. As if the Burmese don't already have enough horror to deal with.
