7-Year-Old Girl Found Abused and Murdered in Kanchanaburi

The news report begins with the discovery of a 7-year-old girl's body in Kanchanaburi, who had been missing since May 30, 2569.

Police have questioned over ten witnesses and suspects, including four monks from a nearby monastery, as part of the initial investigation.

Footage shows the location where the child's body was found in a rubber plantation, with signs of abuse and assault.

High-ranking police officials visited the site to investigate and search for clues related to the perpetrator.

Investigators found discarded snack wrappers between the discovery site and the victim's home, which were collected for forensic analysis.

Police followed a path from the discovery site to a monastery, noting the terrain and distance.

Officials planned to investigate the monastery's parking area and premises, where the victim was known to play.

Police visited local shops to inquire about the victim's habits, including the snacks she frequently purchased.

The Deputy National Police Chief briefed the press on the investigation's progress, emphasizing the collection of evidence and pending forensic results.

The victim's body showed signs of decomposition, making immediate determination of the cause of death difficult, awaiting detailed forensic reports.

Police are continuing to interview witnesses, including a mobile cinema crew who were working nearby on the night of the incident.

Police surveyed the rubber plantation, considering it a potential route the victim may have taken.

Police are considering two main theories: the victim wandered off and met with an accident, or was led into the area by someone.

Police are questioning individuals, categorizing them into groups for systematic interviews and evidence collection.

The victim's mother recounts her daughter's activities on May 30, 2569, including buying eggs twice from a local shop.

The victim's mother expressed suspicion towards a man who had recently returned to the village after a long absence.

Initial observations suggest the victim may have been strangled and possibly sexually assaulted, pending forensic confirmation.

Preliminary autopsy results indicate head injuries, bruising on the back and neck, and lacerations consistent with assault and dragging.

A reporter interviews the victim's mother, who is awaiting the return of her daughter's body from the hospital.

A monk from the nearby monastery states the victim was a good child who often played at the monastery.

The last confirmed sighting of the victim alive was on May 29, 2569, when she rode on the back of her uncle's motorcycle.

A detailed timeline of May 30, 2569, outlines the victim's movements, including visits to a local shop and sightings near the monastery.

The area near a Bodhi tree at the Tikhong Monastery, about 120 meters from the victim's home, is identified as the last known location.

The distance between the victim's last known location and where her body was found is approximately 500 meters.

The house of a key suspect is noted to be only 60 meters away from the victim's home.

An earlier lead involving a 20-baht note was dismissed after CCTV confirmed the individual was not the victim.

Police have interviewed 14 witnesses, including four monks from the Tikhong Monastery, where the victim was last seen.

A second suspect, identified as 'Mr. S', has been added to the investigation, bringing the total to two primary suspects.

'Mr. S' was known to be close to the victim and lived near the discovery site.

Both primary suspects, 'Mr. S' and 'Mr. A', are facing charges related to drug use, separate from the murder investigation.

CCTV footage shows 'Mr. S' on May 29, 2569, riding a sidecar motorcycle and purchasing items from a shop.

The victim was seen riding on the back of her uncle's motorcycle shortly before her disappearance.

'Mr. S' was reportedly cutting grass in the vicinity of the discovery site on the day of the incident.

Reporters found a small hut near the discovery site, possibly inhabited by 'Mr. S', but no one was present.

Forensic teams collected DNA from five construction workers at the Tikhong Monastery for comparison with evidence from the victim.

There is no definitive confirmation of 'Mr. S's' whereabouts between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM on May 30, 2569.

DNA results from the construction workers are expected within 3-5 days.

The investigation continues to determine the cause of death and identify all individuals involved in the case.
