Police in Nakon Sawan have found a wealthy Thai woman strangled and stuffed in a bin bag by the side of the road.

The decomposing body was found bound with electrical cord around the neck and both hands in undergrowth beside the Koh Yuan Road. She had been dead at least four days, reports Daily News.

Suthep Thepnathong,66, identified the body as that of his missing wife Saphaporn Pattayawan, 67, who had not been seen since October 17th.

On that day she was seen leaving her house on her motorcycle going to collect debts as normal. Suphaporn was well known in the Pak Nam Pho area as an owner of many flats and someone who ran a loan business.

The body was missing diamond earrings and a gold ring. Police believe she was murdered over debt repayments or for theft.
