Vietnamese man killed and stuffed in garbage container in Bangkok

Metropolitan Police inspected the body that was bagged and stuffed inside a large garbage container in a room in Phatthara Apartment. Police said the dead was a 30-40 year old Vietnamese man who had six stab wounds in the chest and abdomen. There were also many cuts on his face and legs.

Police said the room was being rented to three to four Vietnamese by its Thai owner.

A man and a woman that lived in the room apparently took the apartment's garbage container into their room, before they disappeared and left the body behind.

Police believe the killers were in the same circle as the deceased, and the motive may have stemmed from conflicts of interest in prostitution.
