A local found the dead body of an unidentified Thai man in the Mae Klong River in Samut Songkram province near Bangkok. Officers reported they discovered two stab wounds on the dead man’s back.

 

Officers from Mueang Samut Songkram Police Station were notified about the death and investigated the scene yesterday, May 18. The body was discovered in the river in front of the Sattha Tham Temple.

According to the police report, the man did not have any documents on him that could reveal his identity.

 

He was approximately between 30 to 40 years of age and measured approximately 160 centimetres in height. He was found without a shirt but wore long jeans. There were two stab wounds in his back. Officers believe he died three days before his discovery.

 

His body was sent to Somdej Phra Phutthaloetla Hospital for an autopsy. Officers reckon that he was attacked before being left in the river.

That's a long time to be floating down river, best start investigating upstream.
