A well-known boat noodle shop owner was found dead yesterday, January 11, inside her home in Chiang Rai after a violent domestic incident involving her adult son, police confirmed.
The incident took place at a boat noodle shop in Mueang Chiang Rai district. Officers from Chiang Rai City Police Station responded to reports of a disturbance at the property, located on Radsadorn Bamrung Road in Rop Wiang subdistrict.
According to police, both the front and rear doors had been locked from the inside, requiring rescue workers to cut the locks to enter. The victim, 64 year old Supaporn, also known as Aunt Pan, was found dead inside the house after officers forced their way in.
Nearby was her son, 32 year old Phakin, who was seriously injured after attempting to harm himself. Rescue volunteers rushed him to Chiang Rai Prachanukroh Hospital for urgent treatment.
