The tragic end of a 23 year old man suffering from panic and depression disorders was discovered in his employer’s house, where he was found shot dead in the bedroom. Police officers are actively hunting down the suspect as the investigation continues.

Police officer Thanathorn Phanchu last night revealed that a murder victim was found in a two-storey house in Nakhon Si Thammarat. The 23 year old victim, identified only as Keerati, had been shot in the face and had sharp object wounds on his left cheek and finger.

Keerati, clad only in shorts, had been dead for over 12 hours. His mother, who was unable to reach him, found the incident shocking, reported KhaoSod.

The scene of the crime was a two-story concrete house, uninhabited on the bottom floor. Keerati’s 53 year old mother mentioned that her son was suffering from panic and depression disorders and was under medication. The house, owned by the victim’s employer, was locked when she arrived after failing to reach her son. Upon climbing the ladder to the second floor, she discovered the heartbreaking scene.

Close friends and relatives, who last saw Keerati on the evening of November 25, heard a car pull up that night but did not know who it was. They tried to contact Keerati but failed, leading them to search for him until they found him dead.

Forensic officers have been meticulous in collecting evidence from the crime scene, looking for traces of the individual who entered the room. Surveillance cameras from the surrounding area are also being examined to identify the suspect. The investigation is proceeding urgently.
