Police arrested a Thai man over the death of a Thai woman with tattoos who was found buried in Chon Buri province. Officers insisted her case was unrelated to the body of a Thai man found near the scene.

 

Locals in the Huay Yai district of Chon Buri discovered the lifeless body of the unidentified Thai woman buried in a cassava plantation on Sattahip-Nakhon Ratchasima Road on December 2. No personal documents are available for officers to identify her identity.

 

A day later, the body of a Thai man was found hanging from a tree 2 kilometres away, leading officers to suspect a link between the two cases. The man was identified as 33 year old Jeeraphan Jantarot, who reportedly experienced a conflict rooted in jealousy with his wife before the discovery of his lifeless body.

Subsequently, officers initiated a thorough investigation to ascertain the identity of the woman and uncover the motive behind her demise. In the absence of personal documents, the officers utilised her tattoos – specifically, the word สายเถื่อน (savage) – and images of two Thai hermits as vital clues to trace her family and relatives.

It is a huge mistake to agree to a police re-enactment. Always refuse to cooperate and get a lawyer in asap.

There can't be many with these tattoos; probably one.

They are  important as a means to aid identification apparently.
