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 intentions behind Yan Ruimin’s disappearance, according to Pol Maj Gen Noppasil Poolsawat, MPB assistant captain, were both related to theft or a personal matter, according to Pol Maj Gen Noppasil Poolsawat, who said on Sunday that prosecutors had determined whether or not the disappearance was related to fraud or a personal matter.
According to an investigation, Ms. Yan had a meeting with a guy at the Klong Toey Market in the Klong Toey area at Soi Sukhumvit 12. The conference was lawful, Pol Maj Gen Noppasil added.
According to Pol Maj Gen Noppasil, Ms. Yan’s say that she was being ransomed by a crime gang was made up by her friends Cai Boxuan and her family.
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.
Mr. Cai last heard from Ms. Yan on June 30 when she informed him that she would travel to Phuket on July 2. According to the authorities, this was the last time he heard from her.
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.
