Horror as body of woman found chained ‘by the neck' and dumped underwater tied down with two dumbbells
A WOMAN'S body has been found chained by the neck and tied underwater with two concrete dumbbells at a popular fishing pier in Thailand. The horror discovery was made after stunned locals spotted the corpse floating close to shore. 1 The body was found on Friday near Ban Tha Yai pier in Phang Nga's Mueang district. Police Lieutenant Pheerawit Chaichanyut of Khok Kloi Police Station said officers rushed to the scene with Kusoltham Foundation rescue workers after receiving an emergency call. The victim – whose identity, address, and nationality are still unknown – was wearing grey shorts and a brown round-neck T-shirt. Police believe she had been dead for around two days before being found in the murky waters. A heavy chain had been wrapped tightly around her neck and secured to two concrete dumbbells in what investigators believe was a calculated attempt to keep the body hidden on the seabed. But despite the grim effort, currents carried her to the surface and she drifted close to land. "This is a serious case, and we are treating it as a possible murder," Pol. Lt. Pheerawit said. "The way the body was weighted down points towards an attempt to conceal it." The body has been sent for a full autopsy to determine the cause of death and whether the woman was alive before entering the water. Local leaders and neighbouring districts have been told to check missing persons reports for anyone matching her description. Cops will meanwhile scour CCTV from the pier and surrounding waterways for suspicious movements in the days before the grim find. Anyone with information – particularly those who may have noticed unusual activity near Ban Tha Yai pier – is urged to contact police immediately. The case echoes a similar discovery in February when a fisherman in Rayong found a woman's decomposed body inside a locked suitcase weighted with two 10kg dumbbells. Her identity also remains unknown. .

Ex-England star Andros Townsend joins Thai minnows founded 8 YEARS AGO in transfer to 16th club of his career
ANDROS TOWNSEND had signed for Thai club Kanchanaburi Power, marking a move to the 16th different club of his career. The 13-time England international, 34, joins the club after they were promoted to the Thai top division last season. 3 Townsend, who will wear number 25 for his new club, spent his summer commentating on the Fifa Club World Cup. But it looks as if he's not ready to make the permanent jump to punditry and still has some miles left in his legs after penning his deal with Kanchanaburi. The little-known club was established just eight years ago and is based in Mueang, Thailand. Since its inception in 2017, the club has undergone three rebrands that have seen it change its name from Singha Golden Bells to Dragon Pathumwan Kanchanaburi and now Kanchanaburi Power. Townsend joins 15-time Algeria international and former Lens defender Mehdi Tahrat at the Thai outfit. Townsend will wear "Townsend Sr" on the back of his shirt instead of the last name most fans are used to seeing him wear. That's because he has a son named Andros Townsend Jr, who you would assume he hopes could follow in his footsteps in the future. Townsend spent last season in the Turkish top flight, making 23 appearances for Antalyaspor.
