Dead body found in Don Muang airport
10 December 2008
Don Muang Investigation Office, Police Gen Boonchote Liangbumrung (บุญโชติ เลี้ยงบำรุง) received reports on Tuesday night (December 9) that an unidentified dead body was found in cargo hold 1 of Don Muang airport.
Police revealed that the corpse was dressed similar to that of a People's Alliance for Democracy guard and also possessed its signature handkerchief. The cargo hold where the body was found is no longer in use and was being used as a lavatory during the PAD's seizure of the airport. Witnesses found the approximately 40-year-old male corpse wrapped in large white plastic bags with all of his jewelry and affects still with him, including a gold and diamond ring and a cadet academy class ring. Police suspected the body had been discarded in such a way for no less than five days.
Airport security officer Mr. Adisak Puengpaisal (อดิศักดิ์ พึ่งไพศาล) made the discovery which initially was being suspected by police to either be an PAD guard or an undercover police officer who attempted to collect intelligence from within the protesting group last week. The body has been transported for forensic studies.
