This story has been updated.

Police launched a murder investigation after the body of a Thai woman was discovered in a rented room at a famous condo in Chiang Mai province, northern Thailand, this morning. The deceased’s “farang husband,” who also lives in the room, is nowhere to be found.

At approximately 10.45am, officers at Mae Ping Police Station were informed that a woman was murdered at a “famous condo” on Chiang Mai’s Super Highway (Highway 11) in Tha Sala subdistrict, Mueang district, reports local media page Chiang Mai News.

Police travelled to the condo where they found the body of a Thai woman lying on the floor tucked behind the curtain in a pool of blood. The bed was covered in blood and there was evidence of a struggle, the police said.

The police’s initial investigation reveals that the deceased rented the condo room with her “farang” husband, who was nowhere to be found. Police have launched a search for the foreigner, who police believe murdered his wife before fleeing the scene. Police did not estimate when the murder occurred.

The police blocked outsiders from entering the crime scene while they collected evidence.

The Thaiger will update the story once more information becomes available.
