Parents call for police to investigate suspicious death of Muay Thai daughter | The Thaiger

Parents of the World Muay Thai women’s champ, found hanged in her room on Monday, say that they believe her death is suspicious and not suicide.

They say, for a start, the rope mark around her nick is too low, believing that this is evidence that she was more likely strangled than hanging herself from the top of the door frame in her room, as police reported.

The 51 and 48 year old parents of Nitiyaporn Srisalai, a fourth year student, are calling on further investigations into their daughter’s death. Nitiyaporn was found dead on Monday at her rented room in Ratchaburi.

Going by police photographs taken in the room, the father says that the chair which she allegedly stood on before hanging herself, was too close to her body.

He believes that these two inconsistencies suggest she was murdered, he said.

He also has told police that, although Nitiyaporn had a boyfriend, a man aged in his 50s had been hanging around and bothering his daughter.

The president of the International Muay Thai Study Association, Charnchai Yomadit, says that Nitiyaporn’s death was “a great loss to the Muay Thai circle in Thailand.”

“She was the World Muay Thai Organisation women’s champion in the 51 kilogram division and was about to graduate in her Muay Thai studies at Muban Chombueng Rajabhat University in Ratchaburi.”

Police say that they will follow up on the parents’ suspicions.

Seven arrested over trafficking of Burmese migrants into Thailand | The Thaiger

by Suriye Patathayo

Police have arrested seven Thai and Burmese suspects for allegedly luring at least nine Burmese nationals into forced labour in Thailand. The suspects ages ranged from 27 to 61.

The first five face several charges including human trafficking, while a Thai couple have been charged with sheltering and helping illegal migrants evade arrest.

Pol Lt-General Sanchai Sunthornburana, who leads the police Information and Technology Office, said the nine illegal migrants had been forced to work under slave conditions at sugarcane plantations between August and September 2017.

“They each paid the traffickers between 20,000-25,000 baht to enter Thailand, but found themselves in jobs that were very different from what they had been promised.”

The victims told police that they were intimidated into staying at the sugarcane plantations.

“In the end, they managed to escape and came to the Myanmar Embassy in Bangkok to seek help.”

The embassy then contacted the Anti-Human Trafficking Division, which put the victims under protection at a facility in Pathum Thani in late 2017. Based on the victims’ complaints, investigators were led to CBS World Company in Bangkok’s Lak Si district, where fake passports and fake visa stamps were found and seven suspects arrested.
