Kanchanaburi police hunt for murderer who taunts cops with Facebook riddle

[webfact]

Police in Kanchanaburi are racing against time to apprehend a brutal murderer who allegedly shot a transgender woman dead in an apparent robbery. The suspect, obviously a fan of serial killer movies, then audaciously taunted authorities and friends of the victim by using her stolen phone to post a chilling riddle on her Facebook account asking, “Do you know who the killer is?”

 

The dead woman, identified as 38 years old Phanuchaya Niamthong, worked in a local department store. Her lifeless body was discovered in her bedroom, face down on her bed, with a pillow covering the back of her head.

 

A bullet had penetrated the pillow, striking her left cheek, indicating that she was shot at close range. A spent 38 shell casing was found beside the bed, which the police took as evidence.

 

In a macabre twist, the perpetrator locked the doors from the inside and used a master key to lock the main gate from the outside before making their escape. Upon inspection, authorities discovered that a 2-baht-weight gold ring, two mobile phones, a collection of coins amounting to 5,000 baht, and the keys to her motorbike and house were missing.

Does anyone know if the RTP have a Fingerprint or DNA Bank ?

I never hear of them taking prints or blood samples from crime scenes.

Might need to bring Batman and Robin in to solve that riddle, maybe use the Bat computer?
