Police in Kbang District in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai are investigating the identification of two human bodies which have just been found fully decomposed in a local forest.

Two human bodies are found in a forest in Gia Lai Province on August 22.

In an announcement released on August 24, the police said that while looking for bamboo sprouts in a forest in Dak Rong Commune on August 22, some local people found two decomposed bodies on a hammock and informed local authorities.

"The bodies were fully decomposed and totally skeletonised, and their clothes had rotted," the report said. "We found some objects including backpacks, flashlights, lighters, and some other personal belongings."

It is estimated that the victims had died between seven to eight months ago. Their genders have not been defined yet. Police said they probably weren’t local as there had been no reports about people missing in the area in recent months.

Kbang police are further investigating the case.
