[snoop1130]

 

A man’s body found in a canal with a slashed throat and bound legs has shocked locals in Thailand’s central Samut Sakhon province. The police are investigating the crime scene and suspect the involvement of three to four pickup trucks, which were detected speeding away from the area earlier that day. Authorities believe the victim was not from the area and are attempting to identify him.

 

This morning at around 11am, Police Lieutenant Colonel Phadungsak Duangdao from Samut Sakhon Police Station was notified of a murder in the Bang Chakreng area. He led a team, including forensic experts and local rescue volunteers, to the scene at a canal, which was located about one kilometre from the main road and another 100 metres from a shrimp pond.

 

The unidentified man, estimated to be around 30 years old and 170 centimetres tall, was found wearing only jeans and with tattoos on his body. His legs were tied with a white cloth, and there was a deep slash wound on his throat, almost severing it. The police collected a black bag and a white cloth found nearby as evidence.

Shrimp bait, must have done something really bad.

they had seen three to four pickup trucks speeding away from the area, which they now presume were involved in dumping the deceased.

 

Sometimes the logic of the 'local residents'  just goes out the window - I mean what sort of killer tries to dump a body using 4 pick ups ?
