Police search for clues
in headless-body case
Boonlua Chatree
Police were working to identify a couple whose headless bodies
were found floating near their abandoned yacht on Pattaya’s Near
Islands.
The bodies of the couple, presumed to be European, showed no other signs
of trauma and it was unknown how they were decapitated or if it occurred
before or after death. An initial forensics examination pointed toward
accidental death or suicide, not murder, police said.
The bodies were found about 500 meters apart Aug. 28 off Koh Sak. Both
were fully clothed and not in swim or dive gear.
About 800 meters from the body of the male victim a Lagoon 400 luxury
catamaran named the “Cat Rynna” was moored. Marine police reported it
had been anchored there for about 10 days and, upon inspection, still
had its cabin locked.
Police were investigating to determine the victims’ names and origins,
as well as that of the boat and their cause of death.
