A disturbing find unfolded as a human skeleton was unearthed amidst the refuse of a trash pit in the precincts of Amphoe Waeng Noi, Khon Kaen Province. The remains, reduced to bare bones, have left investigators grappling with uncertainty regarding the deceased's identity.

 

At approximately 6:30 PM on February 17, 2567, Deputy Superintendent Pol. Lt. Col. Ekkachai Phaocha of the Waeng Noi Police Station received a distressing report via radio communication channel 191, reported Thai Rath.

 

Concerned citizens had stumbled upon the charred remnants at a landfill situated to the east of Ban Nong Du, Moo 4, Tambon Lahan Na, Amphoe Waeng Noi, Khon Kaen Province.

 

Urgent appeals were made to individuals harboring suspicions regarding missing loved ones to promptly reach out to the authorities at the Waeng Noi Police Station.

Upon reaching the dumpsite, they were met with the ghastly sight of a human skeleton engulfed in flames, with remnants of rubber wires commonly associated with vehicle tires strewn around the bones.

 

Initial examinations proved inconclusive in determining the gender of the deceased due to the extensive burns. Nevertheless, authorities remain steadfast in their investigation, urging individuals with missing relatives to step forward and assist in identifying the victim.

 

The skeletal remains have since been transferred to the Sirindhorn Hospital Forensic Medicine department for further analysis to ascertain crucial details, including the gender of the deceased.

Burned skeleton in Khon Kaen landfill confirmed as female

 

 

Police confirmed that the burned skeleton found in the landfill in the Isaan province of Khon Kaen was a female under 35 years old. A 66 year old Thai woman came to the police station believing that the skeleton belonged to her missing granddaughter.

 

A water delivery driver discovered the burned skeleton at a dump site in the Waeng Noi district of Khon Kaen on February 18. Long hairs and steel wires from car tyres were found at the spot, leading police to believe that the suspect used the tyres as fuel to burn the body.

 

Officers from the Khon Kaen Provincial Police reported yesterday, February 19, that the initial autopsy result showed that the burned skeleton belonged to a woman aged under 35 years old and had a height of about 165 centimetres.

 

Despite that, the autopsy was still unable to provide the exact identity of the woman and the cause of her death prior to being burned. Officers plan to review security cameras in the area and nearby to identify both the deceased and the suspect.

 

Following the questioning of locals living near the site, police believe the incident took place around 8pm on February 16 when more than 10 residents noticed flames coming from the garbage dump site.

 

A Thai woman, Jintana Thippawong, reported to police that she noticed that the flames were about 2 to 3 metres high from the landfill. The fire made her curious because authorities and locals had never burned trash at the spot before.

 

Suspicious man

 

Another local, identified only as A, reported that she met a suspicious Thai man on February 17. The man was not a local in the area, and she had never met him before. The man wore all-white attire, had short hair, and medium height.

 

A said she questioned the man about where he wanted to go and he responded that he would go to the Ban Kaeng Community in the Isaan province of Chaiyaphum. She offered drinking water to the man but he refused and walked toward a sacred shrine in the community called Don Pu Ta, 700 meters away from her home.

 

A added that she heard the man mumble or chant something that she could not understand on his way to the shrine. She believed that the man might have performed some ritual that night.

 

Missing woman

 

A 66 year old Thai woman, Noo Ladmo, reported to Waeng Noi Police Station yesterday, February 19, after seeing news about the burned skeleton. She believes that it might belong to her missing granddaughter, Piyanut Klaharn, who went missing on December 8 last year.

 

Noo revealed that Piyanut is 31 years old and about 151 centimetres tall, which was similar to the information released by the police.

 

Noo informed the police that she was unaware of Piyanut’s phone number and had no clue as to her whereabouts. She further stated that Piyanut had previously departed from home for extended periods but would maintain communication with Noo, a departure from the current situation.

 

Noo urged Piyanut to contact her if she is still alive. She said she would follow the police investigation closely while waiting for her granddaughter to get in touch.
