The victim said she had known the suspect for four to five months through her work in the entertainment sector, where he had previously hired her on multiple occasions without showing violent behaviour. On 6 April 2026, he asked her to stay at the condominium and later invited her to travel to Pattaya. On the night of 9 April, they went drinking before returning to the room late at night.
She explained that she felt stressed and wanted to return home, and spoke to a friend by phone, which the suspect secretly recorded and translated. After realising she intended to leave, he became enraged. “He started attacking me around 5.30am and continued until 9am. I was punched, kicked and hit repeatedly with a lamp until there was blood all over the room. He also chased me with a knife and slashed at my finger,” she said.
The victim added that she was forced to kneel beside the bed for nearly an hour and was threatened to “cut off her own hand” if she wanted to leave. A friend of the suspect was reportedly present in another part of the room but did not intervene. She also believed the attacker was heavily under the influence of drugs, describing erratic and uncontrollable behaviour.
After the prolonged assault, the suspect reportedly regained composure, expressed remorse and took her to hospital before police were notified. However, the victim said she has not received adequate support, noting that the suspect offered only 10,000 baht in compensation, which does not cover medical costs including brain scans, X-rays and treatment.
She also raised concerns that despite reporting suspected drug use, no immediate testing was carried out, leaving her feeling unsafe and fearful of further harm. “My mental state is very bad. I cannot sleep or be alone. I feel like someone is following me all the time,” she said.
Police at Hua Mak reported they have coordinated with immigration authorities to place the suspect, whose name and nationality was withheld, under surveillance. Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage, gathering further evidence and questioning witnesses, with reports indicating the suspect still remains in Thailand and has not attempted to flee.
Thaitabloid reported that authorities are preparing the evidence to summon the suspect to face charges and proceed with legal action. The victim has urged officials to expedite the case and provide urgent protection, citing ongoing fears for her safety.
