Disappearance of a 3-year-old girl
In a shocking incident in Muang district, Narathiwat, a three-year-old girl named Norasabeena Naekama was found dead and naked not far from her home on Tuesday, May 16th. Just two days earlier, Norasabeena had mysteriously disappeared from her home.
The decaying body of the toddler was discovered by a local resident who was tending to his cattle near a pond on Tuesday morning.
The events leading to her disappearance
On Sunday evening, Norasabeena had been playing at home while her 30-year-old father, Amran Naekama, was selling snacks outside their house. During this time, a customer arrived in a car and purchased 60 baht worth of snacks, paying with a 1,000-baht banknote.
As Mr. Amran did not have enough change, he briefly left his daughter at home to get smaller notes from a nearby shop. Upon his return, he found that the customer had left without waiting for the change, and to his horror, his daughter had also vanished.
The distraught father immediately reported the disappearance to the local police.
Ongoing investigation
The police are currently investigating the tragic death of Norasabeena and awaiting an autopsy report from Naradhiwasrajanagarind Hospital. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance and death remain unclear at this point.
It is essential for the community to come together and support one another during this difficult time, while the authorities work tirelessly to uncover the truth behind this heart-wrenching incident.
