Police have launched a murder investigation after the body of a Thai woman was discovered in a rented room at a famous condo in Chiang Mai province, northern Thailand, this morning. The deceased’s “farang husband,” who also lives in the room, is nowhere to be found.

 

At approximately 10:45am, officers at Mae Ping Police Station were informed that a woman was murdered at a “famous condo” on Chiang Mai’s Super Highway (Highway 11) in Tha Sala subdistrict, Mueang district, reports local media page Chiang Mai News.

Police travelled to the condo where they found the body of a Thai woman lying on the floor tucked behind the curtain in a pool of blood. The bed was covered in blood and there was evidence of a struggle, the police said.

Who knows, but a majority of murders are committed by people they know or were close to.

 

Hope they find the husband, a likely suspect.

The police blocked outsiders from entering the crime scene while they collected evidence.

A quick investigation into passenger lists at the airport might give a clue if he used a flight out of town, otherwise on other transportation he could be anywhere.

The  police are fortunate to have a local expert contact them and be told the death was murder.

Agreed, easily tracked if he's jetted off (but not necessarily traced - for now, anyway) but putting myself in the shoes of a murderer, I'd head for the airport and get out of the country.

 

I'm not assuming the husband is the killer, but he's obviously #1 suspect.

Police say woman found dead in Chiang Mai condo wasn’t murdered

Despite police saying that they assumed the woman found dead in a condo room in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, this morning was murdered by her foreign husband, they are now saying she was not murdered at all.

 

Pol. Lt. Col. Phirom Yosalai, an inspector at Mae Ping Police Station, said the woman is expected to have died from an underlying condition because the “blood” stains on the bed reported by police turned out to be feces.

 

The “signs of struggle” that police found likely arose from the woman attempting to crawl to the bathroom before she died, added Pol. Lt. Col. Phirom.

And now all the " Sherlock's "  are shocked and silenced !!

The Police really need to stop making premature statements and wait until they know facts before making claims . Even worse that they cannot tell the difference between blood and faeces and they told the World the deceased never made it to the toilet and did it in her bed .

   IMO, that info should be kept private and photos shouldn't be shown in the media

Then you should probably read the whole updated article ?

The first pic with the "blood stains" that appear now to have turned into feces are up at the pillow end of the bed beside her cell phone. Did she $hit from her mouth? feces and blood look and smell nothing alike so kinds strange the confusion. Something seems off with this whole story. Good that the husband is accounted for and I feel sorry for his lose but I will not be surprised to find another suspect was involved, maybe her brother or cousin who came to stay while looking for a job. Im sure they have CCTV at the "famous" condo that can be reviewed.

 Now the husband of the dead woman should take the police and papers to court for defamation.

Is the condo called "sh7t the bed"

Might be an idea to change the thread title now it isn't murder.

Either very irresponsible original news release from the RTP or another example of someone purchasing a "Get out of jail" card from the police.  Either way neither the police nor the country look good.

There are many ways to leave Chiang Mai and the country including land borders.

So no murder, het bf can go out off his hidingplace without being scared off being shot by police off being a suspect ????.

What an emotional rollercoaster the past 24 hours have been.

 

Can I sue the RTP for false advertising or something?

A famous Condo? 

Surely it has enough funds to have CCTV?
