Investigation Launched After Fetus Found at Bangkok Residence
Police in Bangkok are investigating the discovery of a fetus found in a plastic bag hanging on a residential gate in the Phasi Charoen district.
On the night of October 18, 2026, authorities in Bangkok’s Bang Sao Thong area were alerted to a disturbing discovery at a townhouse in the Phasi Charoen district. According to Khaosod Online, a resident reported that a food delivery rider had arrived at his home and hung a white plastic bag on his gate, claiming it was a food order. The resident did not immediately open the package.
Shortly thereafter, police arrived at the scene following an anonymous tip from a woman who claimed a fetus had been left at the residence. Upon inspection, officers discovered a 3-to-4-month-old fetus wrapped in blue cloth inside a plastic food container, which was placed within the bag. Forensic experts and medical examiners from Siriraj Hospital were dispatched to collect evidence.
The resident, who expressed shock at the incident, suggested that a former partner might be involved, though this remains a subject of the ongoing police investigation. For residents and visitors, this incident is a localized criminal matter currently under police review. Authorities have not yet confirmed the identity of the person who placed the order or the individual who made the anonymous call. The investigation is ongoing as officials work to identify the parties responsible for the abandonment.
