New possibilities have arisen in the search for a missing three-year-old British boy, indicating that his mother, accused of abduction, may be in Thailand. The boy, Oliver Pugh, was reported missing by his father after disappearing in Marbella, Spain, with his mother, Anastasiia Chikina, just before a custody ruling. Efforts to find the child, including a reward offer of £87,000, have not yet yielded any leads.
Recent social media hints point to the mother’s presence in Bangkok, specifically at the Iconsiam shopping center, based on Instagram stories. A second image emerged showing Anastasiia and her sister near a Cartier shop. Further clues, such as the layout of the shopping center and the Cartier store ceiling, support the theory of her location.
Oliver, a UK passport holder born in Marbella, was under joint custody until a recent court decision granted full custody to his father. It is suspected that the mother fled the country with Oliver after the court ruling, despite being ordered to surrender his passport.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the abduction and issued a missing persons appeal. The distraught father has pleaded for his son’s safe return, emphasizing the importance of both parents in the child’s life. The Foreign Office has confirmed its assistance in the case of the missing British child in Spain.
