BANGKOK, April 2 : Three Chinese nationals suspected of kidnapping, torturing and murdering a 22-year-old compatriot before dumping her body in a canal in Nonthaburi last week had already returned to China on Thursday, the Metropolitan Police Bureau said on Sunday, a day after the student’s body was found.
The third-year university student was tortured before she was killed three days before her body was found, police said. CCTV footage from the area where Jin’s body was found showed one of the three suspects carrying the rainbow-coloured bag containing her body from a Mazda vehicle and dumping it in the canal.
The three suspects lived in Bang Yai sub-district but moved out of their residence at 3pm on Wednesday, he said."Investigators are gathering evidence to obtain arrest warrants for the three suspects," he said.
