Three Men Detained After Cannabis Shop Owner Found Buried

Police arrested three Thai men after discovering the body of a cannabis shop owner inside a plastic container buried beneath a planter box in Bangkok’s Don Mueang district. Officers initially found no evidence of wrongdoing at the property, but a further search uncovered the body of 34-year-old Chaiyasit on the second floor. One suspect allegedly admitted stabbing the victim during an argument connected to accusations that he had stolen a watch. He claimed the two other men played no role in either the killing or the disposal of the body, although investigators are continuing to examine that account. All three suspects initially face charges relating to intentional murder and concealing or moving a corpse to hide the cause of death.
