UDON THANI:-- Udon Thani police have not ruled out murder in a case where mysterious remains were found cremated in a forest temple.

Officials were called to the Chaiyawan temple when unexpected remains were found Friday, reports Thairath.

Police and medical personnel determined that they were human and likely to be those of a woman due to the shape of the skull and wire thought to be part of the supports for a bra.

Empty sacks that had contained charcoal were found nearby. The remains were sent for a detailed autopsy.

Police proffered two theories, firstly that the remains were that of a person murdered or secondly that they belonged to someone from an impoverished family who could not afford funeral expenses.

Police are looking into any missing persons reports in the area.

Wondering when a skull shape determined the sex of human remains???? Guess the pelvis has nothing to do with it anymore. The advances in Thai technology.

Nice attempt at Thai bashing, maybe a bit of understanding of the topic could have saved you the embarrassment.... then again TV Thai bashers usually have no problem with facts getting in the way of their aim......

4 Ways to Determine Sex (When All You Have is a Skull) 1. Examine the features of the skull.

Men generally tend to have thicker, heavier skulls. They are typically notably larger than female ones, generally speaking. Although this factor will not determine sex on its own, combined with the other features outlined below, it can give you a good indication of gender.

2.

The temporal muscle is a long band of tissue stemming from the parietal bone on the skull, and extending all the way to the mandible (the uppermost part of the jaw). The part of the skull where the muscle attaches (the temporal line) often has a more pronounced ridge in males than females.

3.

The eye socket area, when looking at the skull, is referred to as an orbit. The lower section of the orbit differs slightly between men and women. Women have a sharper ridge and males a slightly blunter surface to them.

4.

The superciliary arch or “monkey brow” is not very prominent in humans. Think of the prominent forehead of our primate friends and you’re probably thinking of this arch. It exists above the orbits, and comprises two arched elevations which are prominent medially. In males, there is usually some slight ridging here and you should be able to see some of it. In females, there is typically very little, or none at all.
