Authorities were shocked on the morning of December 2, as the body of a woman, approximately 50 years old, was discovered floating in a canal in the Chong Nonsi area, the same location where a man’s body was found three days earlier.

 

At approximately 07:00, Pol. Lt. Tianchai Posarat, an investigator from Bang Phongphang Police Station, along with rescue personnel from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, responded to a report of a deceased individual in the canal near Chan-Narathiwat Road in Bangkok.

 

The victim was found wearing a white shirt and black trousers. Upon further examination, visible marks on her neck indicated possible strangulation. The body was retrieved from the canal by rescue teams.

 

A volunteer from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, Mr. Chanon Kaewphromma, recounted the discovery: “I noticed a crowd gathering near the canal. Acting on instinct, I went to investigate and found the body. We immediately alerted the police and other rescue teams to the scene.”

 

The woman had no identification or documents on her person. Her body was sent to Chulalongkorn Hospital’s forensic department for an autopsy and to establish her identity.

 

Forensic officers and investigators conducted a preliminary inspection at the scene. The police have tasked Ruamkatanyu Foundation personnel with transporting the body to the police hospital for further examination to determine the cause of death and verify the victim’s identity.

 

Authorities have yet to confirm whether there is any connection between this incident and the male body discovered in the same canal three days ago. Investigations are ongoing.
