Daily News reported that there were major developments in the case of a Chinese national found dead trussed up in a suitcase in the Ping River in Kamphaeng Phet earlier in the week. 

 

While precise details are sketchy there is rampant speculation, notes Thaivisa. 

 

What is known so far is that Wang Jun, 30, was the man found on a sandbank inside a suitcase. He drowned - police have confirmed after an autopsy that he was alive inside the case when he was thrown in the river. 

 

Earlier reports said two men were seen throwing things in the river.

 

His wife is missing. She is thought to be inside one of three more cases that police divers are searching for. They are searching in a 5 kilometer radius from where the first bag washed up.

 

A driver of a van has been interviewed though he gave imprecise details. He said that four bags were tossed in three separate locations though he wouldn't or couldn't say where. 

 

Police think that three people are involved in the case. Two arrest warrants are being prepared. 

 

The media reported that these were foreigners though Thais might also be involved. 

 

Victim Wang Jun had a history of making frequent trips to the Mae Sot area of Tak near the Myanmar border. 

 

There was no record of him having crossed the border. 

 

Bloodstains have been found in a rented town house in Pattaya though the victim was not hurt before he was tossed in the river. Fingerprints taken from the house are being examined. 

 

The police are as yet unsure what transpired in Pattaya. 

 

Police cannot be sure if Jun's wife is dead or alive but there are fears she has also been murdered.

Why? Are people not allowed an opinion or to think about events? These kind of responses telling people not to formulate theories are ridiculous. 

Frequent trips to the Burmese border would suggest he's involved with the meth trade.

I see what you did there.....????

I take it they have ruled out suicide.....

An interesting case...my own hunch is boiler room dispute. Though it may be connected to the large group of Chinese working across the border along from Mae Sot.

 

Rooster

Van driver doesn't remember; OK, which cell towers did his smartphone ping?

Suicide pact..

That thought came to my mind and I totally agree.

Perhaps they were going on holiday together. Trying to cut costs.

Maybe from his missing wife??

Either a very small man or a very big suitcase. 

It's an open and shut case then?

I can remember jokingly telling a Thai girl that I could take her home in my suitcase. She immediately jumped in and ordered, "Close bag now" Fitted her like a glove, I even had plenty of room for my dirty laundry.

Improper waste disposal - to throw suitcases into a water source is disgusting...

 

if there was a proper waste disposal landfill system, the suitcases would have been handled properly vs contaminating the environment

Drugs deal gone wrong.. someone owed money!

Typical Chinese way to sort things out!

The theory should match the evidence, not the evidence fitted to the theory.

 

Speculation leads to injustice.
