	Provincial Police Region 4 chief Pol Lt General Boonlert Jaipradit confirmed yesterday that bone pieces were found in the forest zone two days ago.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&ldquo;DNA tests will be conducted and results compared against the database of people reported as missing,&rdquo; he said.</div>
<div>
	&ldquo;These bodies might have been burned because their killers tried to cover up their crime&rdquo;.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	On Thursday, locals alerted police about human skeletons they came across in the forest zone. Bone pieces became visible partly because bushes and weeds withered under the scorching sun during the drought and ongoing hot weather.&nbsp;</div>
