No leads in mystery woman’s murder

PHUKET CITY: -- Police have yet to identify the body of an Asian woman found dead near Sri Suchart Grand Ville 2 housing estate, off the bypass road, on March 22.

Pol Maj Aikasit Pinkaew told the Gazette that investigators were not even sure if the woman was Thai due to the condition of the corse when it was found. Police believe the victim died three days before body corpse was discovered off the Kuandindang-Samkong road.

“Some people have come to see her body but unfortunately no one has been able to identify her,” he said.

“It is difficult to investigate this case because we have no evidence and no relatives have come forward,” Maj Aikasit added.

The victim was found barefoot, dressed in a yellow T-shirt, blue jacket and white pants. She had been stabbed six times in the face and neck. One of two stab wounds to her forehead was vicious enough to crack her skull.

Investigators found no physical evidence at the crime scene apart from two bloodstained stones near the victim’s face.
