Murder-suicide suspected as couple found dead in Thai rental home

[webfact]

 

A chilling murder-suicide discovery was made in the Phana district of Amnat Charoen when a foreign couple, found dead in their rented house, sparked a police investigation. The 47 year old Swiss man and 40 year old Moldovan woman were identified by Pol Col Chotnarin Sathupawarat, the superintendent of Phana station.

 

Found in their shared bedroom on Saturday, both individuals had knife-inflicted wounds on their throats and arms. The woman’s remains were located on the bed while the man’s body was found adjacent to it. The scene was further disrupted by the presence of two knives and the body of a Poodle near the bathroom.

 

The superintendent informed them that there was a considerable amount of blood and footprints on the floor. However, no signs of struggle were observed and the couple’s possessions seemed undisturbed.

The police are currently waiting for the autopsy reports to ascertain the cause of their deaths. The initial assumptions point towards a murder-suicide case, but the police haven’t ruled out other possibilities.

I would suggest they invite the press to walk all over the crime scene and burn the bodies without an autopsy.

Yes IMO it could be, maybe someone else involved, many unanswered questions like where did they meet. How long had they been together..............

The unanswered questions is because they were only recently found and the investigation is on-going. As for their personal relationship, I don't see why that has to be published for all to read.
