The missing Chinese woman case in Bangkok was not connected to any international crime syndicates, according to the Metropolitan Police Bureau ( MPB), which limited the investigation to personal matters.
The removal of Yan Ruimin, 38, was reportedly linked to theft or a personal relationship, according to MPB deputy chief Pol Maj Gen Noppasil Poolsawat, who was on Sunday.
According to an investigation, Ms. Yan had a meeting with a guy at the Klong Toey Market in the Klong Toey district’s Soi Sukhumvit 12. The appointment was lawful, Pol Maj Gen Noppasil added.
According to Pol Maj Gen Noppasil, the state that Ms Yan was being ransomed by a crime gang was the result of a mistake between her friends and her companion Cai Boxuan.
Based on their conversations on WeChat, Mr Cai told Ms Yan’s relatives to prepare at least 1 million yuan ( 5 million baht ) for ransom, as he believed that Ms Yan might have faced danger before she went missing, said Pol Maj Gen Noppasil.
When Mr Cai reported to police that his companion was missing at Bang Rak depot in Bangkok on Friday, a report about Ms. Yan’s removal surfaced.
According to the authorities, Mr. Cai last heard from Ms. Yan on June 30 when she informed him that she would travel to Phuket on July 2.
Yet, human remains believed to belong to Ms Yan were found dumped in a desolate place of Chachoengsao area on Saturday, 50km south of Bangkok.
The bones were badly decomposed, and officers were waiting for the results of a DNA check, Pol Maj Gen Noppasil said.
Pol Maj Gen Supichai Limsiwawong, captain of the Police General Hospital’s Institute of Forensic Medicine, said the autopsy findings are expected to be concluded in a year.
However, traces of plastic surgeries on the the bone are similar to Ms Yan’s procedure record, he said.
