Manhunt for Suspected Brutal Cook in Murder and Dismemberment of Myanmar Waitress Body Stuffed in Box, Flees by Van

CCTV footage captures the moment a nightclub cook in Phetchaburi district, suspected of killing and dismembering a Myanmar waitress, stuffs the body into a plastic box. He was seen acting nervously, carrying a large black bag and another bag, then fleeing by van. Police are urgently pursuing him for questioning.

An update on the case involves the murder and dismemberment of Ms. Aye Aye Nwe, 34, a Myanmar national. Her body was found stuffed into a large black plastic box with a lid sealed by plastic wrap, containing only her torso down to the knees; her upper legs were nearly severed. The head, arms, and legs were cut off and remain missing; her abdomen was also cut open. The incident occurred inside an apartment in Soi Ratchaprarop 14, Makkasan subdistrict, Ratchathewi district, Bangkok. The suspect is Mr. Aung Pyae, 35, also a Myanmar national and the victim's husband. He worked as a cook at a nightclub in the Phetchaburi area and has fled. The incident happened around 1:35 a.m., as previously reported.




At 4:00 p.m. the same day (12 June 2026), reporters examined CCTV footage near the apartment. The footage from 8:33 p.m. on 10 June 2026 shows Mr. Aung Pyae, 35, the victim's husband, dressed in a white long-sleeved jacket, wearing a dark-colored cap, long pants, and sneakers. He appeared agitated, running while carrying a large black bag and another bag slung over his shoulder. He was seen talking on the phone as he fled the scene and got into a yellow public van waiting nearby to escape.




Meanwhile, investigators are intensifying efforts to track down and summon the suspect for questioning to proceed with legal action.
