The results of DNA testing conducted on samples taken from human remains believed to be of a missing Chinese woman are expected on Friday.
The Police General Hospital’s Institute of Forensic Medicine (IFM) said on Monday that the identification of the body was difficult due to the decomposition of the remains.
Yan Ruimin, 38, was reported missing in Thailand since July 1.
The remains that are believed to be hers were discovered dumped in a deserted area in Chachoengsao on Saturday.
As far as the forensic examination could tell, the body didn’t sustain any serious injuries to the head, police said.
If the DNA from the remains matches that of the missing woman’s father, police will then be able to seek an arrest warrant for Ma Qingyan, the prime suspect who is believed to have kidnapped Ms Yan and then possibly killed her and dumped her body in Chachoengsao.
More information about what Ms Yan was doing in Thailand before she went missing is expected from her elder sister, who will come to Thailand and meet with police on Thursday.
