Imagine a serene day by the water suddenly shattered by the grim reality of a murder mystery. A woman's body was discovered floating near the Ban Tha Yai pier in Thailand, chained by the neck and tied down with concrete dumbbells, sending shockwaves through the local community.

The horrifying scene unfolded on August 8, as locals enjoying the popular fishing spot were confronted with an unimaginable sight. Police Lieutenant Pheerawit Chaichanyut of Khok Kloi Police Station quickly responded, leading a team of rescuers to the area after receiving urgent calls from startled residents.

Details about the victim remain elusive; her identity, nationality, and even her address are still unknown. She was found wearing grey shorts and a brown round-neck T-shirt, suggesting a casual day out that tragically turned fatal. Authorities estimate she had been deceased for roughly two days before her body surfaced in the murky waters.

The grim details of her discovery revealed a heavy chain tightly wrapped around her neck, secured with two concrete dumbbells—clearly intended to sink her body and keep it hidden. Ironically, the very method used to conceal her ended up bringing her to the surface, where she was found drifting perilously close to shore.

The investigation is now in full swing, with the woman's body sent for a comprehensive autopsy to determine the exact cause of death and whether she was alive when she entered the water. Authorities are treating the case as a possible murder, especially given the weighted restraints indicating foul play.

Local leaders and neighboring districts have been alerted to check their missing persons reports for any matches to the woman’s description, as police sift through CCTV footage from the pier and nearby waterways, desperately searching for any clues that could lead them to potential suspects.

“This is a serious case, and we are treating it as a possible murder,” stated Pol. Lt. Pheerawit. “The way the body was weighted down points towards an attempt to conceal it.” Police are urging anyone with information to step forward, especially those who may have noticed suspicious activity around the Ban Tha Yai pier in the days leading up to this tragic discovery.
