According to a number of Thai media sources, on May 11, at around 18 pm local time, divers from the Minman Altar Foundation in Pattaya, Chonburi Province, Thailand, received police coordination from the Third Branch of the Metropolitan Police Department to help search for a black plastic box in the pool next to Map Phrachan in the Nong Prue area of Banglamon County.
After nearly one hour of searching, the staff finally found the black box in an area about 2 meters away from the shore and about 3 meters deep, and it took up to half an hour before bringing it to the shore. After opening it, the police found it filled with cement and found the body of the South Korean man they were looking for at the bottom. Thai media said that after a preliminary inspection, it was found that all ten of his fingers had been cut off.
It is understood that the South Korean man's name is Eui Jong Roh, about 30-35 years old, 170 cm tall, and was put in the above-mentioned black plastic box after being brutally murdered. The case was based on the fact that the South Korean man was killed one week ago in the Makkasan police station in Bangkok's Brilliant district, after which his family went to the Khlong Tan police station where he lived before his death to report the case.
Further investigation revealed that the man entered Thailand on April 30 this year, and then on May 7, the South Korean embassy in Thailand received a request for help from the man's mother, saying that someone called her son's number to say that his son (the deceased) threw a drug into the river, causing them to suffer, so they hoped that the family would transfer 3,000,000 baht to his son's account before 8 a.m. on May 8, otherwise he would be killed and his organs sold.
As a result, the man's mother went to contact the embassy to find out what was going on for her son. Later, the South Korean embassy in Thailand coordinated with the Khlong Tan police station in Bangkok and eventually learned that the man had been killed. At present, the police are working hard to track down the suspect.
