Transgender woman brutally murdered in Kanchanaburi: Robbery suspected

[webfact]

 

A brutal murder has shocked the local community in Kanchanaburi province, where a 38-year-old transgender woman was found dead in her bedroom, shot through the head. Her missing assets suggest a robbery, with the victim’s father pleading for assistance to find the ruthless murderer, who is believed to be an acquaintance.

 

Police captain Mana Samranwong, along with investigation officers from Kanchanaburi province and Mueang Kanchanaburi Police Station, arrived at a residence in Nong Bua, Mueang district, Kanchanaburi province. They were there to investigate the murder of Phanuchaya (surname withheld for privacy), a 38 year old employee at a local department store and a transgender woman.

 

Phanuchaya was found face-down on her bed, a pillow covering the back of her head which bore the evidence of a bullet fired through it. The victim was lying in a pool of blood, having been dead for at least 14 hours, according to the medical examiner. A .38 calibre shell casing was found beside the bed, indicating the likely weapon used in the killing.

Upon inspection, several personal items were missing from Phanuchaya’s residence. These included a gold ring, two mobile phones, and 5,000 baht in coins. Additionally, her motorcycle and house keys disappeared. The perpetrator had locked the house from the inside and used a master key to secure the front gate from the outside before fleeing the scene.

Possibly CCTV, or they're going by what his/her father claimed? Many possibilities. 🤔

The father probably knew that the victim had a gold ring and 2 phones, and as for the 5000 in coins I'd say it's peculiar enough that he probably knew that too. The victim must have been keeping them for some purpose.
