Tragedy struck the police community in Ayutthaya when the body of Police Corporal Krisada, a 26 year old police at Marawichai Police Station, was found in his residence, a police housing unit.

Pol. Cpl. Krisada, who had been serving at the Marawichai Police Station since 2021, was described by his close friend and fellow officer, Nattaphum, as a jovial and well-respected member of the force.

On the day of the discovery, after finishing his shift at 8am, Krisada returned to his room to rest.
