A woman reported missing after she lost contact with her family during the Songkran holiday was found dead in Bangkok’s Lat Krabang district this morning.
The 48-year-old victim, whose identity is withheld, was found among the grass alongside Soi Chalong Krung 54 early this morning. Her neck was wrapped with a vine, and her body was stripped naked. Police believe she was sexually assaulted and murdered.
Her boyfriend reported her missing Saturday after she didn’t return home as expected. She was last known to get a bus from Saraburi province to return to Bangkok.
Her bag and jeans were found under the Khlong Lam Pla Thio Bridge near her home, leading the police to search the area.
THB1,000 in cash and her mobile phone were stolen.
Her body will be sent for autopsy while police look for a suspect, Khaosod reported.
