Three children of Russian citizen Ilya Orlov are being searched for in Phuket. His body with signs of torture was earlier found in a ditch near the statue of a serpentine creature. This is reported by local media.
Documents of an unidentified girl were found in the man's bag, leading city authorities to believe that she may still be alive. Later, the police found that the man arrived in Thailand with three children, who also can not yet be found. This is reported by the publication Thaich8.
The body of a 27-year-old visitor from the Sverdlovsk region was found by local residents on September 3. The guy's body was lying in a ditch near the statue of Naga, a snake-like mythical creature in Hinduism and Buddhism. Police found a bag containing his Russian passport, bank cards, and a woman's passport near the body.
During the examination of the crime scene, police found no signs of struggle or blood, leading to the assumption that Orlov was killed elsewhere and brought to the ditch already dead. Also the police believe that the tourist from Russia may have had a conflict with local bandits.
Earlier it was reported that a resident of Kurgan was sentenced to 9 years in a strict regime colony for murder.
