Man Found Dead in Home; Owner, Linked to Previous Crime, Missing

Neighbors reported a foul odor leading to the discovery of a decomposed body in a townhouse.

The victim, Sakdinon, 28, was found in a severely decomposed state in a two-story townhouse in Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi.

A neighbor and rescue volunteer, Watcharabul, alerted authorities after noticing a persistent strange smell.

The house was locked from the outside, requiring authorities to cut through the locks to gain entry.

Sakdinon's body was found on the second-floor landing, significantly decomposed and dry.

A phone was found near the victim's head, and a fanny pack contained syringes, suggesting drug use.

The homeowner, Surapat, also 28, could not be located.

Neighbors reported the homeowner often talked to himself and had frequent male visitors.

The victim was last seen on May 25th, and the foul smell became noticeable around the previous Wednesday.

A neighbor who peered into the house saw what appeared to be bloodstains on the stairs.

Neighbors described the homeowner as someone who talked to himself and appeared to have mental health issues.

A neighbor across the street saw the victim arrive at the house about 5-6 days prior.

The homeowner reportedly disappeared about 3 days before the body was found, a timeline inconsistent with the body's decomposition.

The homeowner was observed talking to walls and chanting, indicating potential mental distress.

Another neighbor pair reported last seeing the victim on May 26th.

Neighbors described the homeowner as appearing normal in conversation but sometimes exhibiting strange behavior like chanting.

The village head revealed the homeowner had a previous case involving unlawful detention of a man.

A previous victim was held captive for 3 days without food or water, requiring police intervention.

CCTV captured the homeowner leaving the house on a motorcycle on June 2nd, the day he disappeared.

The homeowner's departure 3 days prior contradicts the estimated time of death of over 7 days.

The police chief stated the victim likely died over 7 days ago and the homeowner may have been with the body.

Evidence suggests ammonia was used around the house to mask the smell of the decomposing body.

The victim's mother stated he planned to visit the homeowner on May 26th and received calls from him late that night.

A missing person announcement was issued for Sakdinon by the Mirror Foundation.

Reporters visited the scene, noting the lingering smell of decomposition.

A neighbor identified the homeowner as 'Pond' and described him as LGBTQ+ and having lived there for two years.

In the second year of living there, Pond began bringing different men home frequently.

Approximately two months prior, another man was allegedly held captive by Pond, leading to a rescue.

The previous incident was not pursued legally, leading neighbors to believe Pond is responsible for the current death.

It's reported that Pond had issues with his family, including assaulting his father, leading his mother to buy him the house.

Pond's erratic behavior, such as chanting and talking to himself, intensified when he was alone.

Pond reportedly demanded money from his mother, exhibiting aggressive behavior when she couldn't comply immediately.

The previous captive described being locked in the house, with the duration of confinement varying.

Neighbors believe the previous incident, if handled more seriously, might have prevented the current tragedy.

Police are awaiting autopsy results to determine the cause of death and are attempting to locate Pond.

The victim's parents, residing in Chiang Mai, are being summoned to provide statements.

Authorities urge Pond to come forward to clear his name if he is innocent.
