In Chumphon, police have invited the mother and relatives of a missing man for questioning in relation to a suspected homicide. The case involves a corpse which was abandoned and is believed to be the same missing person. Authorities are hastening to examine fingerprints and conduct DNA checks on bone fragments for identification.

On January 10, Sakritchaya Sukkanit, the Deputy Investigation Chief of Chumphon Police Station, summoned 55 year old Suwannee Sriphichit, along with her daughter and other relatives to provide initial statements for the ongoing investigation.

 

The inquiry was initiated after Suwannee reported on January 8, that her 36 year old son, Jirasak Triyuang, went missing from home on January 3, around 6pm. He disappeared along with a white Toyota Yaris car, registration number 6515 Chumphon, and a white Toyota pickup truck, the registration number of which is unknown. Since then, he has been unreachable, reported Khao Sod.

Around the same time, a murder victim was found abandoned in a forest near a canal-side road in Nong Yai, Chumphon. After Suwannee provided her statement to the Chumphon Police Station, she met with Shinawut Silpasawat, the Investigation Chief of Chumphon Police Station, who is leading the homicide investigation. The meeting lasted over two hours before Suwannee left without making any comments to the press.
