Ex-boyfriend suspected of stabbing girlfriend to death in Bangkok
A resident contacted the police after witnessing a Thai woman being stabbed to death in the early hours of today in the Jomthong district of Bangkok
The 33 year old witness, Klanarong Nitjakam, called officers at Bang Khun Tien Police Station to investigate the fatal stabbing, which happened at about 1.30am today, June 5. The victim, identified as 31 year old Naree, was found lying lifeless in a car park behind the apartment.
The investigation revealed that Naree suffered two stab wounds to her left arm, three to her chest, and another three to her back. A knife with a yellow handle was found near her body.
Naree was reportedly an employee at a convenience store near her apartment. She was wearing her uniform, covered by a black jacket, and flipflops.
Klanarong disclosed that he was awakened by the victim’s cries for help and looked out his window to investigate. He saw a man in a dark brown T-shirt and jeans stabbing the victim and shouted at the attacker, demanding he stop.
The attacker ignored his pleas and stabbed the woman three more times before fleeing the scene. Klanarong stated that he had seen the victim multiple times but had never spoken to her. He expressed remorse that he could not save her life.
Police suspect Naree’s ex-boyfriend is the murderer. Officers believe the ex-boyfriend was motivated by jealousy, as Naree had recently started a new relationship with someone she met on social media. Officers are currently reviewing security camera footage to identify and apprehend the perpetrator.
A similar stabbing was reported on May 25 when a Thai man was stabbed by his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend at a Bangkok condo. The victim is stable after receiving four stitches to a wound on his shoulder and another five stitches to his wrist. The attacker remains at large and took the victim’s girlfriend with him.
Another major stabbing case came to light on May 25 after the body of a Thai man with multiple stab wounds was found at a condominium in Nonthaburi province near Bangkok. On May 31, police arrested a Thai man for the murder after he had managed to evade arrest for nearly a week.
