Then, she
said, she received a call from the victim’s husband saying that he had already killed her and the
body is in the house. Ms.Kanokorn broke through the back door and found her sister dead on the
bed.

Investigations revealed that Mr.Kunchai approached the victim while she was asleep on
the bed and poured bathroom detergent into her mouth and used a rope to tie around her neck until
she died. Then, he wrote a letter saying that his wife was planning to leave him, even though she
was pregnant with his child.

Police believed that after asphyxiating his wife with a rope
around her neck, Mr.Kanchai was set to commit suicide, tying the noose to the ceiling, with a chair
positioned just below. However, he must have changed his mind and abandoned this plan and fled the
scene. Police are now on the hunt for him.
