Mother and Two Children Found Dead in Eu-Aathorn Home
Three bodies – a mother and her two young daughters – were found dead in a bedroom of a Eu-Aathorn housing unit in Pathum Thani. Police estimate they had been dead for at least two days, and a suicide‑style note was discovered requesting a quiet cremation. The children’s teacher said they had been active and cheerful just days before, while the grandmother expressed deep sorrow over the loss.
At 09:30 on October 6, 2026, Police Lieutenant Chaiphatch Ariyawong received a call reporting deaths inside a Eu-Aathorn village in Mueang Pathum Thani. He rushed to the scene with Police Major General Peeraphol Chotiksathira, Provincial Police Commander; Police Colonel Wiwat Asawawibul, Station Commander; Police Lieutenant Thaiti Salitsadanon, Deputy Investigation Commander; Police Lieutenant Wuthiwong Wongpradap, Patrol Commander; Police Sergeant Songkan Somjit, Investigation Sergeant; medical staff; officials from the Ministry of Justice’s Institute of Forensic Science; and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation. The ground‑floor unit’s door was already open; officers entered the bedroom and found three bodies lying on the bed. They were identified as Ms. A (pseudonym), 42; Miss B (pseudonym), 9, a fourth‑grade student; and Miss C (pseudonym), 7, a second‑grade student. No signs of struggle were visible. A notebook was found on top of a cabinet containing handwritten notes from both the mother and the children. The mother’s note read like a farewell to the building’s manager, asking that if the three bodies were found they be cremated the next day without ceremony, because relatives lived far away and she did not want to cause trouble, and begging that the mother and children not be separated. Preliminary examination indicated the victims had been dead for at least two days. The bodies were handed over to the Poh Teck Tung Foundation for transport to the Institute of Forensic Science for a detailed autopsy. The building manager said the unit had been rented for a long time; normally four people lived there – the mother, her two children, and the children’s grandmother – but the grandmother’s whereabouts were unknown. Before the incident, a school teacher came looking for the children after they missed class and notified the building office. When staff arrived they found the door locked from inside, received no response to knocking, and called the police. Security forced the door open, revealing the tragic scene. The fourth‑grade teacher said that on Monday she noticed the two children were absent because there was an exam that day, so she tried to locate them. She had previously messaged the parents’ LINE group with no reply. When she arrived today she saw the door was locked and alerted the building office, leading to the discovery. She added that the children had attended school on Friday, joined activities, and appeared cheerful, giving no hint of the tragedy that would follow. The grandmother, Ms. Suphaporn (surname withheld), 46, said she normally buys goods and takes the children out for trips every week and visits them regularly. She added that the mother had recently messaged her about a loan application offered at the factory, and a coworker had advised her to transfer 1,000 baht.
