Woman's body found in river

A WOMAN'S body was found inside a bag that surfaced in the Mae Klong River in Kanchanaburi. Police were trying to identify the woman yesterday while the autopsy results are pending.

Provincial police chief Maj-General Kamolsanti Klanbut said the victim was probably a regular at night spots and could have been a pole dancer based on her navel ring.
He said the 80-by-30-centimetre bag was dumped in the river around three years ago. The officer called on people with a missing relative to inspect a photo of the woman at Tha Muang Police Station in Kanchanaburi or inspect the body at the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Bangkok.
Short blue jeans, a pair of high-heeled shoes and a black brassiere were found inside the bag along with two large stones. She had long hair and fair skin and had sustained a 75-millimetre cut to the forehead.
He said doctors are unsure if she died from the head wound.
