The police were alerted when hotel staff found Kimyong unresponsive after her ex-boyfriend reportedly stated she had fainted and then left. Evidence from the scene, including a knife and signs of injury, suggest potential foul play. The woman was partially dressed with visible bruising, and initial estimates suggest she had been dead for six to eight hours.
Hotel staff observed that the couple checked in at approximately 11:50 a.m., and the man returned with beer before leaving again around 8:56 p.m. Witthawat paid for the room, and investigations are underway to locate him. Evidence suggests an argument may have led to an assault and suffocation.
Police continue efforts to find Witthawat to understand the circumstances surrounding Kimyong’s death. Further actions will depend on the questioning and investigation outcomes.
