Woman Found Murdered in Grassland Near Rayong Factory
A 26-year-old Myanmar fish processor was found murdered in grassland near Rayong on July 27, with police investigating a male coworker who vanished the same night she went missing.
Police in Ban Pho district, Chachoengsao province, responded on the evening of July 27 after receiving a report of a body found in roadside grass near a factory. The victim, identified as Ms. Ten, 26, a Myanmar national employed as a fish processor, was found lying on her back with a deep throat wound. Her left hand gripped a clump of hair, and her clothing—a black shirt and torn shorts—showed signs of a struggle. The body was already decomposing.
According to her younger brother's initial statement, the victim left her room around 9 p.m. on July 25 while on a phone call and subsequently went out of contact. Family and coworkers searched for her but could not locate her. On the evening of July 27, while returning to his room after work, the brother noticed an unusual smell and found grass had been oddly placed over the area, leading him to investigate and discover the body.
Police have launched an investigation targeting a male coworker of the same nationality, who has been considered a prime suspect and disappeared on the night of July 25. He has been brought in for questioning. The victim's body has been sent for full autopsy at the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Police Hospital.
