During questioning, Winai stated that he had been in a relationship with the victim for around one year and regularly visited her rented accommodation in Bang Plu, Nonthaburi. According to his statement, they argued over jealousy after he saw his mistress showing affection to another man who worked as a motorcycle taxi rider. Winai claimed he later saw the pair entering a hotel together, leading him to confront the victim. He told investigators the woman initially denied the accusation before later admitting to the relationship after he mentioned the hotel incident.

Authorities have not yet officially confirmed the charges to be filed against the suspect.
