A local fisherman made a horrifying discovery in Ban Chang district, Rayong province, after finding a large suitcase containing the decomposing body of a woman. The suitcase, partially submerged in a pond near a golf course, had a dumbbell inside, seemingly used to weigh it down.

 

Police were alerted to the scene at 17:00 after Mr. Pholpat Phromthong, a 21-year-old fisherman, reported a strong odour coming from the suitcase. Officers from Ban Chang Police Station, along with emergency responders from Siam Ruamjai Rayong Rescue Foundation, arrived at the scene to investigate.

 

The suitcase, a black wheeled Swiss-brand bag, had been locked with a combination code. Upon being opened, it revealed the naked, decomposed remains of a woman with dyed hair, believed to be around 30 years old. The body was too decomposed to confirm her identity, though authorities noted a scar on her chest, possibly from breast augmentation surgery. It is estimated that she had been dead for at least five days to a week.

 

Nearby, police discovered bloodstains on a concrete bridge leading to the pond, suggesting the victim may have been killed elsewhere and dumped at the location. Witnesses claimed the suitcase had been visible earlier in the week, though no one had reported it until now.

 

 

Ban Chang Police are reviewing CCTV footage from surrounding areas to trace any suspects. Initial inquiries into missing person reports led authorities to a case filed in Nong Kham, Chonburi, where a woman had been reported missing. Investigators are now working to confirm if the cases are linked.

 

Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward as they continue efforts to identify the victim and track down the perpetrator.

 

Notice issued by police.

My favorite was more than 10 years ago where an Eastern European on his Honeymoon chopped-up his beloved, wrapped the parts in towels, put them in a suitcase and deposited it into the Chao Phraya River.   Such a potential floating treasure chest didn't escape notice for long and it was soon hauled to shore and opened.  Didn't take the cops long to figure this one out.  The towels the guy wrapped the select cuts in were embossed with the hotel name. Video revealed the husband huffing & puffing as he struggles with the suitcase on the elevator. Police had him Chop-chop.
