Woman’s Body Found After Being Seen Walking into Nan River

On the 10 August, a woman went missing after walking into the Nan River near the Ton Pho Pier in front of Saturnian school, Mueang District, Nan Province. Local residents who were fishing in the area reported seeing the woman, before her disappearing.
 

Rescue responders found a pair of shoes left on the riverbank, with footprints leading through the mud to the river's edge. A motorcycle was also discovered parked at the school's garage, which is believed to belong to the missing woman. A search of the river by boats and along the river banks, was started by local rescue foundations and continued all day.

At 18:00, Pol. Lt. Charukit Thananchai of Nan City Police Station reported that a local fisherman had discovered a body in the Nan River, nearly 3 Kilometres from the initial site. The body was wearing the same clothing as the woman who had gone missing earlier that morning. The woman's husband, child and other relatives were present at the scene and confirmed that the body was indeed that of their missing loved one.

Police are investigating the incident, but have released the body to the family for religious rites and funeral arrangements.
