A woman’s body has reportedly been found chained by the neck and tied underwater by two concrete dumbbells at a popular fishing spot in Thailand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The corpse was discovered floating\u00a0near the Ban Tha Yai pier in Phang Nga on August 8 – sparking a grisly murder investigation.<\/p>\n

Police Lieutenant Pheerawit Chaichanyut of Khok Kloi Police Station said officers responded with rescue workers after receiving a call from shocked locals.<\/p>\n

The victim, whose identity, address, and nationality are still unknown, was wearing grey shorts and a brown round-neck T-shirt, The Thaiger reports.<\/a><\/p>\n

Police estimate she had been dead for around two days before being found in the murky waters.<\/p>\n

Officers found a heavy chain wrapped tightly around the woman’s neck, secured with two concrete dumbbells.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Investigators believe the method was intended to weigh the body down and conceal it underwater.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But, despite this, the corpse still floated to the surface and drifted close to shore, where it was discovered.<\/p>\n

A woman’s body has been found chained by the neck and tied underwater by two concrete dumbbells at a popular fishing spot in Thailand, according to reports<\/p>\n

It has been sent for a full autopsy to confirm the cause of death and whether the victim was alive before entering the water.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police have launched a murder probe, due to the weighted restraints suggesting foul play.<\/p>\n

Local community leaders and neighbouring districts have been contacted and asked to check for any missing persons that match the victim’s description.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CCTV footage from the pier and surrounding waterways is also being reviewed in an attempt to trace suspicious movements in the days before the discovery, reported KhaoSod.<\/p>\n

‘This is a serious case, and we are treating it as a possible murder,’ Pol. Lt. Pheerawit said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘The way the body was weighted down points towards an attempt to conceal it.’<\/p>\n

Police urge anyone with information to contact police immediately, especially those who may have noticed unusual activity near the Ban Tha Yai pier.<\/p>\n
