Police suspect a Thai woman is responsible for the murder of her two month old son after the baby mysteriously drowned in a canal. The dead body was found floating in a canal nearby the family’s house. During the initial investigation, officers also uncovered traces of blood on the baby’s bed, adding to the complexity of the case.

 

Yesterday at 5pm, Weena, a 19 year old woman and mother of the dead baby, reported to Pak Kret Police Station that her two month old son, Nikhun, had been missing from their home on Tiwanon Road in the Pak Kret district of Nonthaburi province, near Bangkok, since 8am.

 

In response, police officers and rescuers swiftly arrived at the location to initiate a search operation, with assistance from residents in the area. After an extensive search lasting nearly five hours, one of the rescuers discovered the lifeless body of the baby floating near Weena’s house. Overwhelmed by grief, Weena collapsed to the ground and wept upon seeing her beloved son in such a lifeless state.

 

Nikhun’s body floated face-up in the canal with no visible wounds. His body was sent to a hospital for an autopsy to identify the cause of his death.

 

Weena informed the police that her son drank milk from a bottle and fell asleep on the bed before the disappearance. She was busy with the housework and did not notice when and how her son ended up in the canal. She asked her mother who fell asleep nearby her son, but her mother also had no idea.

 

Weena explained that she decided to ask her neighbours who loved to play with Nikhun whether anyone had entered her house and taken her son without her knowledge. However, no one visited her house at that time.
