Bang Lamung police captain Sornsuphan was called after a grass cutter found a dead body on a five rai vacant plot yesterday morning in Soi Nong Hiang in Nong Pla Lai sub-district.

 

The unidentified man was aged about 30-40 and was wearing a red shirt and blue shorts with black footwear with an orange design.

 

He was face up with facial injuries. He had blood coming from his nose and mouth. He had been dead at least 12 hours.

 

He was lying close to an Acacia tree and was covered in Acacia twigs, reported Thai Rath.

 

Kertpong, 43, who was the first to find the body said that he had no idea who he was.

 

Police are studying CCTV and hope an autopsy may give them a further lead.

Could perhaps help someone to identify him.

 

Perhaps he fell out of the tree to his death.

The RTP sucking on their oxygen masks in the police station, just waiting for the general public to solve the crime for them. Maybe they need to watch Cagny and Lacy reruns instead of CCTV.

Don't worry the Thai language press will have photos of the deceased, he'll be identified!

They were the early ones!

Deceased has been identified as Myanmar national and a second Myanmar national has confessed to having dumped the body. Caught on CCTV footage transporting the corpse; traced vehicle back to residence. Sounds like drunken argument may have gotten out of hand.

He fell out of the tree.

Police should ask the gardener what he did with the high end camera he found near the body.
