In a chilling discovery, police in Nakhon Sawan province have launched a murder investigation after the body of a man was found concealed inside a 200-litre drum and dumped in a reservoir.

 

At approximately 15:00 on 18 May, local residents alerted Takroh Police Station after spotting a large blue water drum floating in the Huai Yai Reservoir, located in Moo 7, Takroh Subdistrict, Phaisali District. Officers, accompanied by the Ruam Jai Rescue Foundation, arrived at the scene and retrieved the drum, which was emitting a strong foul odour.

 

Upon opening it, officials were met with a horrifying sight, the body of a Thai male, estimated to be around 50 years old. The victim was dressed in a green shirt and black trousers and had been placed inside a fertiliser sack before being stuffed into the drum.

A preliminary examination revealed a wound to the left side of the chest, believed to have been caused by a gunshot. No identification documents were found on the body, making it difficult to immediately determine the victim’s identity.

 

Police have begun canvassing the local community, asking if anyone has seen or heard of a missing relative or neighbour. Local village heads and subdistrict officials have also been asked to assist in the investigation.

 

Police suspect the murder was premeditated and particularly brutal in its execution. Investigators have launched a full-scale manhunt to track down those responsible.

What? Normal? Are you reading news that we don´t? How many dead guys stuffed in drums have you read about this year? How are Thai´s supposed to be. A country with only nice people that have zero criminality?

It's happened at least 5 times this year alone, bodies found in bags, barrels or trunks. If you don't research crime here, you'll have no idea just how many happen daily, even though we see it daily on the news, it's just a fraction of what goes on................https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Thailand
