A 38-year-old Nigerian man identified as Anabon Chka Hen and a Vietnamese woman’s m¥rdered bodies have been found buried in a shallow grave in northeastern Thailand, Police forensics investigators have said.
It is reported that the Nigeria Anabon’s fingerprint assisted in identifying him, while the serial number of the Vietnamese woman’s silicone bre@st implants helped in her identification.
Police are now investigating to determine what led to their murders. A wild mushroom harvester was said to have discovered their bodies in a forest at Chok Chai district in Nakhon Ratchasima on the evening of July 28, 2022.
According to the report, the man noticed a fresh pile of earth covered with branches about 500 metres off Highway 224. The village head and other residents went to check it out. They dug into the soil and quicky stopped when they uncovered part of a human body.
Police were called to the scene and rescue workers dug deeper, uncovering the bodies of a man and a woman buried less than one metre down. The bodies were n@ked.
Village headman Thepbancha Saikrathok said the woman’s body was above the man’s body in the grave, and each was mostly covered with a layer of cement.
It was initially estimated they had been de@d for at least three days. Local people said they did not recognise them, and there had been no reports of people missing in the general area. Police said it was likely they were m¥rdered elsewhere and their bodies brought to the forest and hidden.
Officers recovered some cartridges and b#llets within two metres of the grave where the bodies were discovered.
