torpedo1970 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Since Thailand is very good at getting DNA test done swiftly i am confident that this case will be closed quickly. they might even find some cigarette butts with DNA that proves that this is atrocity is been done by a Foreigner.

Similarly, if some people wanting to dispose of bodies know about out-of-sight cremation sites, they may take advantage of them. I wasn't saying that this is what the bones are, only that it is a possibility which could/should be looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyman Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Well well, another article with news from the darker side of Thailand. It's been a while. Perhaps a local wat was saving on gas expenses for cremations of locals that were poor and had no families to collect the ashes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thinking, Sherlock! Might be very possible indeed! And if true, we will never know. With the Army currently in power and all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisrazz Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I find it hard to believe there is a Rai of land in Thailand that has not been traversed by hunters, mushroom gatherers, agarwood spotters, illegal loggers or such in the last 20 years. The report states the land has been cleared. It does not take long for vegetation to re-establish in this climate, the locals will know but may not wish to tell.

otherstuff1957 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Until quite recently, when poor country people could not afford a proper funeral in a wat, they would cremate deceased people out in the woods. One of my wife's grandfathers was cremated that way about 35 years ago in NST. This might very well be a traditional cremation area for local people who could not afford a fairly expensive funeral.

Jonathan Fairfield Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Cremated remains found in Udon - one likely to be local womanImage: Thairath UDON THANI:-- Police investigating the discovery of fifteen illegal cremation sites in rural land in Udon said that several of the remains are likely to be of human origin. The investigation has been upscaled with 15 officers put to work in three separate teams to get to the bottom of the mystery after the discovery of bones and other items, reports Thairath. One is said to be the body of a woman from the same Ban Prue district, 52 year old Bangorn Thongorn who was involved in loaning money. In total there are 15 piles of ashes and police say that DNA evidence is being sought as the investigation widens with police not ruling out the matter may be connected to drugs or the illegal logging trade. Some of the remains may be of animal origin. They said seven of the sites are likely to be human remains. Bits of metal from clothing, watch parts and bits of mobile phones were found in some of the remains. Updates are expected after police involved in the case meet again Sunday.

jamesbrock Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Interesting how this article makes no mention of the alleged involvement of rogue 'murder-for-hire' police officers... Various other news sources have picked up on this interesting development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
