The bus was operating the overnight route from Udon Thani to Phitsanulok, having stopped in several locations before reaching its destination at Phitsanulok’s Bus Terminal 2 and Terminal 1. The vehicle had been parked in a depot since about 6pm the previous evening when the discovery was made by a bus attendant preparing for the next journey. The attendant, Dokliw Samathi, 52, found the infant when the bin felt unusually heavy.

A woman matching the description of the suspect was seen boarding the bus in Loei province. She was described as tall, thin, wearing jeans, and appeared unwell, sitting near the toilet and disembarking at Terminal 1 in Phitsanulok. Police have urged anyone with relevant information to come forward as the investigation continues.

Preliminary observations suggest the infant was around seven to eight months' gestation and appeared fully formed. Officials have not dismissed the possibility of a premature birth or other factors contributing to the infant’s death. Forensic results from Wang Thong Hospital will provide clarity on the cause of death.

Police are focusing on identifying the woman of interest as they gather more evidence and testimonies. Investigators stress the importance of public assistance in this case and remain committed to finding the responsible party.

  • A deceased newborn was found in a bus toilet's waste bin in Phitsanulok.
