At 3.30am on 12 June 2026, Pol. Sub-Lt. Phisit Lha-inchuea, Deputy Investigation Officer at Din Daeng Police Station, received a report of a suspicious object and a strong foul odour coming from a room in the Ratchaprarop 14 area. Officers from the investigation unit, together with volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, attended the scene to carry out an inspection.
Inside the room, officers found a plastic box containing the remains of a woman. Initial examinations indicated that the victim’s body had been dismembered, with multiple body parts placed inside the container.
A detailed search of the room and remains found that the victim’s head and several major body organ parts were missing. Police believe the suspect may have removed and disposed of them elsewhere. Forensic officers conducted a thorough examination of the scene, collecting latent fingerprints, DNA samples and other scientific evidence.
Investigators have also begun interviewing neighbours and residents living in the same building to establish whether any unusual activity or suspicious individuals were seen entering or leaving the room around the time of the incident. Officers are reviewing CCTV footage from nearby locations to trace the suspect’s movements and possible escape route.
Preliminary investigations identified the deceased as Ms. Aye Aye Nwe, a 34-year-old Myanmar national. The suspect is a Myanmar man who had a close relationship with the victim and worked as a chef. Authorities are currently searching for him and seeking to bring him in for questioning.
The victim’s remains have been transferred to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Ramathibodi Hospital for a detailed examination by specialist medical staff. Results from the examination are expected to assist investigators in determining the cause of death and for gathering further evidence.
