snoop1130 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Police are investigating the deaths of a millionaire and her secretary at a house in the Hua Hin district in the southern province of Prachuap Kiri Khan. A letter left at the scene suggested that the secretary accidentally shot her employer dead before committing suicide. The son of 64 year old Suphatta Suwantanon revealed he could not contact his mother for several days and rushed to the family house in Hua Hin to check on her yesterday, March 10. When he arrived, he found the air conditioner on, all doors and windows locked, and no answer when he called for his mother. Suphatta’s son could smell a foul odour coming from inside the house and decided to look through the window of his mother’s bedroom. He found the body of a person covered with a cloth on the bed and suspected foul play. Subsequently, he immediately called Hua Hin Police Station for help. Officers broke into the house and bedroom and discovered two bodies. Suphatta was found dead on her bed with a gunshot wound to the chest while her secretary, 46 year old Suphawadee Hilt, was found lifeless on the floor with a gunshot wound to the head. A 9mm pistol was found near Suphawadee’s body. According to police reports, the deaths occurred at least five to seven days before their discovery, and no signs of theft or struggle were evident. The bodies were transferred to Hua Hin Hospital for an autopsy. Officers discovered a letter on the table in the bedroom. In the letter, Suphawadee apologised and claimed that Suphatta’s death was an accident. She said she accidentally shot Suphatta on February 29 when they were playing with the gun. She said she was shocked and did not know what to do. Suphawadee also left a will at the scene, stating that her house and land would belong to her two daughters. Her foreign husband would be allowed to stay in the house for the rest of his life but would have no ownership rights. Police believed that the deaths resulted from an accidental shooting and suicide, but they will conduct further questioning of relevant individuals before concluding the case. Suphatta was known to local people as a millionaire because of her businesses, which included a Buddha statue manufacturer, a curtain shop and an interior design studio. Her home, where the incident took place, was also a showroom for Buddha statues and vintage furniture.

beautifulthailand99 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 There are lots of fatal accidents between people who know each other with guns in Thailand, sadly. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AlexRich Posted March 11 Popular Post Share Posted March 11 Sounds suspicious to me, and a bit far fetched. Who benefits? Sadly, if there is foul play the Thai Police won't pursue it. 1 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikke1959 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 It is a bit questionable.... Yesterday there was apparently a few days between death of both bodies..Decent investigation could clarify things, but easiest way is what is written above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abmong Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'm just wondering how the "accident" happened. Who did the gun belong to, was Mrs Su cleaning it and it went off or was it fired in an arguement and she didn't really mean to kill Mrs Phra. Still stand by my original theory. If the forensics is correct. Mrs Su shot Mrs Phra then continued to live in the house for two more days before committing suicide with the same weapon. The fact that Mrs Phra was in unnderwear speaks of out-of-work relationship going on here. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be walking around in underwear with my employee in my house.
