Body Tank Recovered After Six-Day Search in Nonthaburi
Rescue divers recovered a blue plastic tank from a Nonthaburi pond suspected of containing the remains of a murdered 39-year-old man missing for months; the discovery also revealed a second missing person from a decade ago.
Rescue divers have successfully recovered a blue plastic tank from a large pond in Moo 11, Bang Bua Thong subdistrict, Bang Bua Thong district, Nonthaburi province. The tank is suspected of containing the remains of Uthen, known as Jia, a 39-year-old man who had been missing for months before police discovered he had been murdered and placed in a cement-weighted tank in the water. All suspects involved have been arrested. The investigation has also revealed a second missing person—a man whose father disclosed that his son was part of the suspect group but disappeared 10 years ago and remains unfound. On July 1 at 4 p.m., rescue divers successfully brought the tank to the surface after six days of underwater searching. Authorities are coordinating with forensic teams to examine the contents of the tank. Both families of the missing persons are closely monitoring developments.
