Police in Thailand’s Lampang province have found the body of a 16-year-old girl who went missing on May 7th, when her Thai-English boyfriend was killed.

Police and about 100 villagers searched a forest bordering Kho Kha and Sop Prap districts after the police received a tipoff from an individual who claimed to have seen the girl, known as “Pingpong”, being led into the forest by a man.

At about 11am, the search team found traces of two holes in the ground, about 50 metres apart in the bushes. In one of them they found the body of a dead girl.

The remains were removed from the shallow grave while the search team waited for the arrival of forensics officers.

Police have already arrested a 44-year-old man, who is suspected of having killed a 17-year-old Thai-English boy.
