Police identify seven bodies from horror train-bus crash

Police have identified seven of the at least 18 people killed when a train collided with a bus in Chachoengsao province on Sunday morning.

On Monday, forensics officials at Bangkok’s Police General Hospital revealed they had identified the bodies of five Myanmar men, one Myanmar woman, plus the upper part torso of a 44-year-old Thai woman.

Relatives will verify the identity of the bodies on Monday afternoon before retrieving them for funerals. If the bodies are mutilated beyond recognition, relatives will be required to take a DNA test to confirm a match, the results of which will take 45 days.
