Body of 18-Year-Old Found in Forest Behind School with Bite Marks on Both Arms
An 18-year-old Myanmar national was found dead in a Rayong forest with severe bite-like wounds on both arms; police suspect he was chased by a motorcycle group, crashed, and was attacked with a sharp weapon.
On April 29, 2025, Plaeng Daeng Police Station reported that on the evening of April 28, officers responded to reports of a body found in a forest behind a school in Plaeng Daeng Subdistrict, Plaeng Daeng District, Rayong Province. Upon arrival, they discovered a male body wearing a black crew-neck shirt and black shorts with severe lacerations on both arms resembling sharp bite wounds. Medical examiners estimated he had been dead for approximately two days. A black and red motorcycle was found overturned 200 meters away in a rubber plantation.
According to the victim's brother, the deceased was identified as Yee Zee Saw, 18, a Myanmar national. The victim left on his motorcycle on the morning of April 27 and had not been in contact since. The brother stated the victim did not drink alcohol and was unaware of any prior conflicts.
A Cambodian laborer, Ms. B (pseudonym), who first discovered the body, reported finding the victim lying at the base of a mango tree while gathering branches behind the school. She immediately ran to notify her employer, who called police.
Initial police investigation suggests that Yee Zee Saw may have been chased at high speed by a group on motorcycles, causing his bike to crash and flip in the rubber plantation. He was then allegedly attacked with a sharp weapon, attempted to flee to nearby residents for help, but died from severe blood loss due to his injuries.
Police are currently reviewing CCTV footage along the victim's suspected route and conducting further witness interviews to identify the perpetrators and establish the true motive for the homicide.
