The worker called police when he saw a human arm washed up in the undergrowth of the riverbank.Throughout Sunday, police were then called to various locations throughout the district as more body parts started to be discovered.Around lunch time, the operator of a long tail boat discovered part of a human leg in the river in Nonthaburi.A local man then reported discovering a human torso in water close to Wat Phothongbon also in Nonthaburi.A short time later, local residents alerted police after they found a head wrapped in a plastic bag next to the their house on the river, close to where the human torso was found.Police told reporters that initial examinations of the body suggested that they had come from an Asian man, however, they would need to wait for a proper medical report to determine if the body parts are from the same person.Police are also studying missing person reports and taking witness statements from those who discovered the parts to try and establish any information on the victim.Source: Daily News, Daily News -- 2016-02-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halloween Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 If this becomes more common, they might consider following India's example and introduce snapping turtles - a method of disposing of singed rather than cremated bodies. Last I heard, the biggest problem was the Indians were eating the turtles faster than the turtles were eating the Indians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wow64 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Everything in this story is pointing to a suicide...why some members on here are questioning this is ridiculous. The head was obviously the last thing the man chopped off... He was seen arguing on the phone last night and was in debt, then chopped his arms legs and head off.. Then jumped in the water.

MockingJay Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Definitely suicide by jumping into the rotor blades of a helicopter hovering over the Chao Phraya River. The head then eventually was pushed into an open plastic bag by the current. Case closed. All of you doubters - shut up!

catsanddogs Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Maybe it's the body parts of the cleaner who found the murdered backpackers on Koh Tao. There were rumours on the TV thread that the person who found the bodies was killed and dismembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
