UDON THANI -- Fifteen piles of what are believed to be human bones have been found in a forest in Ban Phue district.
Daily News Online reported Thursday that the remains were
found at the foot of a mountain near Ban Khon Bon Wiang Chai village in
tambon Nong Waeng.
The bones in eight of the 15 piles were each a nearly
complete human skeleton, while those in the other seven were varied and
incomplete.
Also found at the scene were scraps of burned auto tyres and
petrol bottles, suggesting the bones were of humans burned with a tyre
while in a sitting position.
Pol Lt Col Boonlert Jaipradit, chief of the Region 4
Provincial Police, led his deputy and officers to investigate Thursday
morning. Udon Thani governor Chayawut Chanthorn confirmed the find on
Facebook.
The bones were found only after bushes covering them were razed by a wildfire.
The governor said the bones were discovered two days ago
about 300 metres from the Ban Phue-Kut Chap Road by reporters from
Channel 9 who were in the area working on two other crime stories.
Mr Chayawut said provincial police had launched an
investigation into the grisly find, speculating that a number Udon Thani
officials could be involved.
"I would like to assure the people of Udon Thani that I, the
regional police chief, and commander of the 24th Army Circle will
closely work together to bring the culprits in this case to justice,"
the governor wrote.
