A disturbing discovery was made in a rubbish-strewn wasteland area in Phra Pradaeng district, Samut Prakan province, where a human skull and numerous other bone fragments were found.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Sa-yan Phuphana of Phra Pradaeng Police Station received a report of human remains found inside a plastic bag abandoned in a rubbish pile at a vacant plot of land in Soi Lamom, off Soi Suksawat 76 (also known as Soi Klap Charoen), Moo 7, Bang Chak subdistrict.

 

Upon arrival, officers and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation found the site to be a disused area of over five rai, partly used for parking, storage of scrap materials and rubbish dumping. On the ground near a rubbish heap adjacent to a cashew nut grove, a white plastic bag was found containing the severed human skull with the top part of the skull removed, alongside more than ten unidentified bone fragments.

 

Local resident Samran, 56, reported that he had been setting fishing nets in a nearby canal when a friend alerted him that a dog was carrying a plastic bag near the rubbish heap. On inspecting the bag, he was horrified to bone fragments and the skull. Initially mistaking the contents for a model, he soon realised it was genuine human remains and immediately informed the police.

 

Authorities cordoned off the area and commenced a preliminary investigation. Police believe the remains were likely dumped there and no crime committed at the scene.

 

Forensic experts from the medical institute were called in to conduct identification and hopefully determine the cause and time of death. Police continue to investigate and seek information leading to those responsible for abandoning the human remains.
