Police located the missing hands of an 18-year-old university freshman, whose body was discovered with a slit throat and amputated wrists near a Pathum Thani garage.
Her 18-year-old boyfriend, Thanakorn, is the prime suspect; investigators found blood traces and a large knife in their shared home.
CCTV footage captured Thanakorn transporting an object believed to be the victim's body and later discarding something on a road where the hands were ultimately found.
Thanakorn is currently unconscious in the ICU after a suicide attempt, while his brother reported hearing the couple quarrel on the night of the incident.
Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings
Today 15:20Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
