TAKUA PA, Thailand (Reuters) - Fifteen years after the Indian Ocean tsunami killed more than 230,000 people on Boxing Day, 2004, a cargo container at a police station in southern Thailand bears witness to the hundreds of victims whose remains were never identified.
Inside are personal items - wallets, documents, electronics, all bagged and labelled as evidence - that police hope might one day help to give a name and a proper resting place to those buried nearby in graves marked only by numbers.
