Suspected thief found dead in factory

A suspected thief was found dead Sunday morning at the opening of a drain inside the solar-powered electricity-generating plant of Yanhee Solar Power Co in Sena district of Ayutthaya province.

Pol Lt Col Thammanoon Somchai, an investigator of Man Wichai police station in tambon Don Thong, said police were called to the scene after the body was found.

It was found in a crouching position at the opening of a drain near a large water pump.

Found near the body were a fertiliser bag containing pieces of electrical wire and a cutter. A motorcycle was found near the factory wall.

The dead man was later identified as Noppadol Khamnuandej, 32, of Ayutthaya's Lat Bualuang district.

Security guard Manoj Saengjapjit told police he believed the man had slipped into the factory to steal electrical wiring near the water pump and from tubes containing live wires laid along the drain.

He might have been electrocuted, he said.
