DNA profiling to confirm identity of dead Thai woman

FSL and other investigating agencies at the crime spot on Tuesday
Surat: Senior city police officials are yet to rule out possibility of murder of the 27-year-old Thailand woman whose charred body was found from her rented accommodation on September 6 morning.
The lock on Wanida Bousorn’s home’s front door holds the answer to the mystery which police are trying to solve.
Meanwhile, investigations are on taking the case as an accidental death and no evidences were available that could suggest anything foul.
The lock was broken to enter the first-floor house by the owner of the house. Since the house was locked from outside, police earlier suspected involvement of some person but later found out that the room had another door and stairs on the back. Room mate of the deceased woman told police that they sometimes used the back door to enter the house and let the front door stay locked from outside.
“We examined the backside door and found it covered with cobwebs. The stairs leading down were also unclean while the grille was locked from inside. It appears as if the back door was not used for a long time,” a senior police officer told TOI.
Samples were collected for DNA profiling which will be matched with her family members to establish her identity. Bousorn was on a tourist visa and had arrived on March 20. Her visa was to expire on September 19. Police suspect that her passport and two mobile phones may have been destroyed in the fire.
