BANGKOK - THAI police launched a murder hunt on Wednesday after the naked body of a retired Singaporean man was found dumped in a field.
Teo Ah Yua, 65, had been strangled with his own shirt and his hands and legs were tied with nylon ropes, said police in the southeastern town of Sri Racha. Teo was a long-term resident in Thailand and was married to a local woman working in Singapore. Police also found his passport and foreign currency. 'We have not found the motive but we guess he was killed elsewhere before his body was dumped,' investigator Lieutenant Colonel Suchart Maneerat said. While Thailand bills itself as the 'Land of Smiles' for tourists and expats, there are regular incidents of foreigners falling prey to violence. -- AFP
