Police continue to investigate the death of a Thai millionaire in the central province of Chantaburi. The dead woman’s sister harbours suspicions that her sibling was murdered in connection to a 30 million baht debt settlement.

 

The dead body of the 77 year old woman, named Panithi Kosalanan, was discovered in a pond within her fruit plantation in Chantaburi on Monday, January 22. Her body started to decompose and it was anticipated she died three to four days before her discovery.

 

Officers discovered wounds across her body but could not determine the exact cause. Evidence of physical assault and murder was indicated by low water levels in the pond, ruling out drowning, and broken ribs from an attack. Her body remains at Phrapokklap Hospital for an autopsy.

 

Panithi’s body was discovered after her siblings could not contact her. A friend, 71 year old Somsri, who lived nearby was asked to check on Panithi. The friend called her from outside the house but received no response. Somsri then looked for her friend on the plantation and spotted her body in the pond.

 

Inside Panithi’s house, no signs of struggle or theft were found. Lights and a rice cooker were left on. Her valuables were untouched but security camera data and some documents were missing.

"Moreover, over 30 million baht vanished from her bank accounts. Panithi was a millionaire and never had any history of financial issues but only a nominal amount of money was left in each of her bank accounts."

 

For each bank account to only have a nominal amount in it she would need around 30,000 bank accounts to explain how they could have withdrawn 30 million

I have never seen a creditor who kills his debtor.

 

Surely the millionaire victim was the creditor.

Police arrested a Thai man and woman for the murder of a 77 year old millionaire in the central province of Chantaburi. Each suspect blamed the other.

 

The lifeless body of the millionaire, Panithi Kosalanan, was discovered in a pond on her plantation in Chantaburi province on January 22. The autopsy and suspicious signs in her home suggested murder, prompting officers to question her seven siblings, her employees, and business partners in a search for the killers.

 

Officers from the Makham Police Station arrested the first suspect, a 40 year old Thai man named Krit Moonwong, on January 24. Krit claimed that he did not kill Panithi and only helped the murderer, 43 year old Somsuda, destroy the evidence of the death.

 

According to Krit, Somsuda telephoned him requesting transportation from a hotel to Panithi’s residence.

 

Somsuda instructed him to park his motorcycle 100 metres from the house and proceeded inside alone. Approximately 20 minutes later, Somsuda summoned Krit into the house, where he discovered Panithi’s lifeless body on the staircase.

Thai people are really strange.

 

Your comment and complete lack of reasoning skills are really strange.
