The security guard of a hotel in Nai Yang, northern Phuket, 52 year old Yingyot Butsabong, from Maha Sarakham province, was found dead yesterday (October 16) in his room. Police remain mystified how the man came to grief.

 

A woman named Supattra received a call from the hotel he worked at and was informed that he didn’t show up at work yesterday, so she went to his apartment to check on him.

 

She saw that his room was locked from the inside, so used the key she had in her possession to open the room and found Yingyot laying on the floor, face down. She thought he was just sleeping so she tried to wake him up but once she flipped him, she found that he already passed away.

 

She immediately called Saku police, and once on the scene, police found that there was some blood on the floor. The man had a 2 centimetre wound on his left eyebrow which was deep into his skull. There was also a wound on his chin about 1 centimetre long and about a centimetre deep. His left eye had a bruise which looked like he was attacked by a hard object.

 

Police report that he had been dead for around four hours in the room.

 

The room was not ransacked and there was no sign of fighting or theft. His body has been sent to Thalang Hospital for a detailed autopsy and to look into the cause of death.

His attacker must have had a key to his room ... as the door was locked from the inside when they found him , it would be interesting to know if they found the victim's key in his room ?

If so , the attacker has a key to lock the door ... if not the attacker may well have locked the door from the outside with the victim's key ...

I am sorry for the man, and sorry for the police!

Let the autopsy discover the nature of the wounds, were they inflicted via an instrument of some kind indicating a fight by someone who had access to the room or are they from a fall as the room was locked from the inside?

no ……  Ordinary doors have the round door handle which you can push the button to lock from inside and then close it.

If you walk out of your room and just push the button on the doorknob on the inside of the door the door will be locked after you close it so its not so difficult to make it look like its locked from the inside . Most doors are like that, so its not nesseseraly treu that someone needs a key .

fight (somewhere), blow to the head causing traumatic brain injury (TBI), mortal injury received, man returns to room, succumbs to the injury, falls to the floor, dies.

 

Sorry to hear someone died alone like this, and from what looks like violence. RIp fella.

Of course the police is mystified, they have always been mystified.  First they are mystified then they guess what had happened, 90% of their work are guess work which they considered as good work.

Why are the police mystified ? Because their brains are calcified, they apparently consumed too much calcium in their diet. It's hard like a rock, isn't that mystifying?

If there was an attacker, and there is no evidence that there was, perhaps he just pushed the lock button in the handle on the way out, no need for him to be someone with a key!  His injuries are not inconsistent with a face-first fall.

...or, even more likely, he fell over face first in his own room without the assistance of a third party.

…

 

And then climbed back in the room, trough the window, to put the key back in the keyhole  or the chain on the door to make it look the door was closed from the inside.

 

Yep you solved this one.
