A Thai woman was found dead in a hotel room in Nakhon Si Thammarat, yesterday, April 22, after arriving with her ex-boyfriend who lied to staff that the woman fainted and left the scene .
Officers from Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat Police Station were called to the hotel at around 9pm. The woman, later identified as 31 year old Kimyong, was found on a bed in room No. 9.
Police said the woman was half naked, wearing long jeans that were unzipped, with a pink shirt placed over her chest. Officers noted visible injuries including a wound to the mouth and bruising on the neck. Her body showed signs consistent with death occurring six to eight hours before discovery.
Items recovered at the scene included a bottle of beer, a glass containing beer, and a knife on the bed. Kimyong’s mobile phone and underwear were found in the bathroom.
Hotel staff told police the woman arrived at about 11.50am with a man on a black Honda Scoopy motorcycle with a plate 2 กฉ 8306 registered in Nakhon Si Thammarat. The pair booked the room for one night, with the man paying.
At around 5pm, the man reportedly left and later returned with a bottle of beer. Staff said he left the room again at 8.56pm, telling them the woman had fainted. Staff then checked the room and found her unresponsive.
Following the receipt from a mobile banking transfer for the hotel room, the man was identified as 50 year old Witthawat, a snooker player known locally as Sian Kluay. Investigators said the two had previously been in a relationship but had separated.
Officers believe the pair arranged to meet at the hotel and may have argued. Based on evidence at the scene, police suspect the man assaulted the woman and may have used a pillow to obstruct her breathing.
Police are continuing efforts to locate Witthawat for questioning regarding the incident and possible legal action.
