NAKHON RATCHASIMA: Police are hoping that tattoos and microchips in silicone breast implants will help them identify a murdered Thai woman whose body was found buried two days ago with that of a foreign man.

Officers have also recovered some cartridges and bullets less than two metres from the grave where the bodies were found, said Pol Gen Suchart Teerasawat, the deputy national police chief, who visited the site in Chok Chai district on Saturday.
