PATTAYA – In a chilling discovery, the body of a Lao woman was found in the bathroom of her condominium, her throat deeply cut. The police are yet to determine the cause, whether it points to foul play or an act of self-harm.

Pol Capt Damchaluai Samkanying, deputy inspector at the Nong Prue station, received the distressing call about the incident at around 6 p.m. on Thursday. The location was pinpointed to a condo in Soi Ban Noen Rot Fai.

Immediately, a team of police officers, alongside a doctor from Bang Lamung Hospital and rescue workers, hurried to the site. On the fifth floor, within the compact condo unit, an unsettling scene awaited them: a 28-year-old woman lying in a pool of her own blood, her face eerily turned upward. The gruesome wound on her neck told a harrowing tale, one that seemed inflicted by a razor-sharp object.

Based on preliminary assessments, the police deduced that she had been lying there for around 12 hours. The discovery of two knives in the sink—a large kitchen knife and a sharp fruit knife, each about 15 centimeters in length—added to the macabre puzzle.

As the investigation progressed, an unexpected twist was introduced by a friend of the deceased. This friend, known only by the moniker Nong, aged 25, recounted a call she received from the deceased’s older sister around 2 p.m. on Thursday. The sister, concerned over her inability to reach her sibling, implored Nong to check on her.

Nong hurried to the condo but was confronted with a locked door. Entering the condo required assistance from the management, and eventually, a locksmith’s expertise. Once they managed to open the door, they were met with sheer horror; the boyfriend, identified as Chang, a 42-year-old Chinese national, bolted out of the room, panic-stricken and shouting, “She’s dead.” Nong immediately contacted the authorities, but Chang vanished from the scene.

When the police finally tracked Chang down for questioning, he appeared disoriented and still in shock. He revealed a relationship history of three years with the deceased. The night before the tragic discovery, events had taken a bizarre turn. Chang recalled his girlfriend’s return to the condo, visibly inebriated. She seemed consumed by paranoia, claiming an ominous ghost was pursuing her. In her heightened state of distress, she expelled Chang from the room and locked the door, leaving him bewildered outside.

Chang spent that night at a friend’s house, plagued by his inability to communicate with her. Terrified by the looming threat of police due to his expired visa, he requested Nong to check on his girlfriend.

As forensic experts delved deeper, the room told a telling tale. They discovered only the deceased’s fingerprints on the knives and other surfaces, dampening the prospect of an external assailant. Further adding to the tragedy, traces of ketamine and crystal meth were uncovered within the room, painting a potentially complex picture of the victim’s final hours.

While the lines between homicide and self-harm remain blurred, one thing is evident: the woman’s final moments were shrouded in despair and darkness. Authorities continue to peel back the layers of this mystifying case in hopes of delivering a definitive resolution. As Pattaya grapples with this unsettling incident, the pursuit of justice for the deceased continues unwaveringly.
