Jealous Man Kills Trans Woman in Mall on Koh Samui

[webfact]

 

At 4:35 p.m. on August 18, the 191 Emergency Call Center received a report of a stabbing incident at a well-known mall on Koh Samui, with one person severely injured.

 

Emergency responders arrived at the scene to find Rinrada, a 23-year-old trans woman from Bo Phut, Koh Samui, lying in a pool of blood. Despite immediate efforts by rescue workers to transport her to Thai International Hospital, she was pronounced dead upon arrival.

 

Investigations revealed that Rinrada had been stabbed seven times in vital areas, leading to significant blood loss and her eventual death, repried Daily News.

 

The suspect, Chokchai Intharak, 23, from Thung Tao Mai, Ban Na San, Surat Thani, was detained by mall security. Chokchai had injured himself with the knife used in the attack on Rinrada. Police took him into custody and provided treatment for his injuries.

 

Pol Col Den Duang Thongsrisuk, the Chief of Bo Phut Police Station, questioned Chokchai about the incident. Chokchai admitted that he had been in a relationship with Rinrada for over two months. Their relationship was marked by constant arguments over jealousy, as Rinrada frequently teased Chokchai with pictures of other men.

 

On the day of the attack, Chokchai had transferred money to Rinrada to buy motorcycle accessories, including a shock absorber and brake line. However, when Rinrada failed to deliver the brake line and showed Chokchai a picture of another man, claiming he was her new boyfriend, Chokchai's anger boiled over.

 

He went to the mall where Rinrada worked and used the brake line he had bought to strike her. When Rinrada fought back and took the brake line away, Chokchai drew a knife he had brought with him and attacked her in a fit of rage. The police are now pursuing legal action against Chokchai Intharak.

Yes it was premeditated, I have seen the CCTV and he walks up to the victim and attacks her straight away. The attack is continuous and frenzied, and was not a spur of the moment incident.

 

Sorry the video is not suitable to be posted.

He chose to bring a knife to a confrontation = premeditated

Not at all. The knife was for self defense. 😉

Probably if you are using the law in your country. However, this is Thailand, and they will need just a tad more to call it premeditated. 😉 

[Taboo2]

Not Guilty of murder.

 

Manslaughter.

 

5000 THB fine.

 

Set him free.

The GF told me about this last night. She had seen the video and said it was horrible.

 

Apparently was in the big Lotus opposite Thai International Hospital, right by the food court.

There must have been lots of families with kids around there at that time, as there is a kiddies play area there.

Agree, as the trip to the mall should have been a 'cooling down' time for him.   Should have realized killing the other dude, because he now wanting to be with a different dude, wouldn't end well for anyone.

Doesn't he have to appear in court and be proven guilty before you are able to announce the sentence?

 Yes, after due process and CCTV evidence, etc.   then hang him and all murderers alike

No.  If he always carried a knife, or had the knife for another reason, then it wasn't premeditated.

That doesn't mean that the stabbing or killing was premeditated.  (It doesn't actually prove that the attack was premeditated.)

 

He could have gone there to confront her with the item, then become enraged upon seeing her and then made the decision to attack.  Likewise with the knife, he could have had it for another reason, then used it once his rage increased.

 

Very hard to prove something is premeditated.

Whatever - he did it - 99.99999% of us live a long life and do not kill or rape people. Personally, I have not an ounce of sympathy for those that do.

Maybe he is a blow in? 

 

I lived in ST for 6 years and the weapon of choice is multiple gunshot. Usually when they are stopped at a red light.

You clearly have not seen the video!

 

He walked in, with the knife in his hand, in a shopping mall, and his first action was to launch himself at the victim with the weapon.

 

The police have charged him with intentional and premeditated murder and carrying a weapon in public without just cause

[john donson]

murder one, but a confession is 50% discount...  why needs a confession with CCTV...    village justice would be nice... maybe the friends in the deep south know how to swiftly deal with these...

[sammieuk1]

The video was sickening to unfortunately watch, and no bystander bravery didn't help 🤔Rip

I haven't seen the video.  I was assuming that what was being reported was accurate.  🤷‍♂️

 

It does sound premeditated in that case.  🫡 🙏
