Dead Bhutanese believed to have been part of a gang
AN ALLEGED drug trafficker whose body was found on Sunday in Bangkok’s Klong Ong Ang hailed from the world’s “happiest” country
The 46-year-old, identified as Ugyen Tshering, could have been a member of a drug-trafficking gang, acting Metropolitan Police Bureau chief Pol Lt-General Sanit Mahathaworn said.
He travelled with six other alleged members of the gang on March 28 and they checked into a hotel on Mahachai Road in Bangkok's Phra Nakhon district. His fellow travellers have been identified as Tandin Wangchuk, 35; Sonam Zam, 22; Dechen Dema, 30; Pema Khudu, 51; Kinzang, 32; and Manoj Kumar Daga, 37. Five of them are Bhutanese citizens, including two women, while the head of the gang is believed to be Daga, an Indian national, Sanit said. Police have already sought arrest warrants for Tandin and Manoj.
It is suspected that Tshering died of a drug overdose resulting from the method of packing his body with drugs - which is reportedly common among gangs moving illicit drugs from central Asia.
The Institute of Forensic Medicine said he had ingested 58 balls of crystal methamphetami
