Second singer kills herself

PHUKET TOWN: Kannika Chuaynuphap, 23, a singer from Phattalung, killed herself on Saturday by hanging herself with a sarong from the bars across a window of the room she rented on Wichitsongkram Rd. She was the second singer to commit suicide in Phuket in the space of 48 hours. A friend who found the body told police that she had become concerned about Kannika after having a dream in which Kannika came to her and told her that she was dead. The friend added that Kannika had been very depressed recently over problems with her boyfriend. “She is thought to have died at least 10 hours before her body was found at about 1 pm,” Pol Capt Parichat Jaturonphan from Phuket Town Police Station told the Gazette. Kannika worked at the Tisunay Cocktail Lounge on Phang Nga Rd.
