Woman's Boyfriend Found Dead After Relationship Dispute
A 19-year-old man was found dead by hanging in a rental room in Chachoengsao Province after his girlfriend reported losing contact with him following a dispute over a planned fishing trip.
On August 14, Police Lieutenant Somjet Tarawichit of the Bang Nam Prio Police Station received a report of a death inside a rental room in Tambon Sala Daeng, Amphoe Bang Nam Prio, Chachoengsao Province. Medical staff from Bang Nam Prio Hospital and rescue workers were dispatched to investigate.
Inside the single-storey rental room, officers found the body of Thiradech, 19, lying face down in the rear section, wearing only shorts. He had a rope tied around his neck, and a severed rope was found attached to the roof above. Officers collected evidence from the scene.
According to Surasit, 28, a friend of the deceased, he received a call from the victim's girlfriend asking him to check on her boyfriend after losing contact with him. Surasit rode his motorcycle to the rental room and knocked several times without answer. He then called the victim's mother, and together they looked through a rear window where they discovered the body lying face down. Police were immediately notified.
The victim's girlfriend, Sirigket, 20, revealed that the last time she could reach him was around 5 pm the previous evening, when he sent her a photo of a rope before going unresponsive. She attempted to call back multiple times but could not reach him. The next morning, she tried calling again without success, and contacted the victim's friend to check on him at the rental room, where they discovered he had already died.
The girlfriend disclosed that the victim had previously threatened to harm himself on multiple occasions and expressed a desire to die. She explained that their recent argument stemmed from a fishing trip she was planning. She had refused to let him ride his motorcycle alongside hers, insisting they travel separately. This refusal made him jealous and suspicious, believing she might have a new boyfriend.
Initially, police and the medical examiner transferred the victim's body to Bang Nam Prio Hospital for safekeeping. His mother and relatives sat grieving outside the room before preparations began to return the body to his birthplace for funeral rites.
