Staff from a wildlife sanctuary have filed a police complaint after the latest case which takes the number of gaurs killed in Nakhon Ratchasima this month to three. Pol Col Meechai Kumnerdprom, chief of Wang Nam Khieo police, said experts were examining the remains of the gaurs and police were waiting for the test results. Nakhon Ratchasima governor Wichian Chantharanothai said it was alarming that three gaurs have been killed only five days apart.
