PHUKET: The body of a man was discovered near Freedom Beach yesterday (Aug 5) that police strongly believe is that of a 21-year-old who was dragged out to sea by a strong rip current while swimming earlier this week and who had been missing ever since.

 

Akkarapol Pattranonwere, 21, originally from Surat Thani, was dragged away from the shore while he was swimming on Monday (Aug 2) and had been reported missing since. A four-day search mission had been undertaken by officers and rescue workers to no avail until yesterday’s discovery.

 

Lt Col Jirayut Niyomdet of the Phuket Marine Police revealed to The Phuket News Thai-language sister newspaper Khao Phuket that officers were called to the area at about 5pm yesterday.
