A tragic incident occurred when a married couple fell to their death from a condominium in the Bang Na area, just six minutes after entering their room. The shocking scene was witnessed by a school bus driver, who discovered their bodies lying in the middle of the road.

At 17:00 on August 26, Pol. Lt. Suthep Supho, investigator from Bang Na Police Station, received a report of two fatalities involving a husband and wife who had jumped from a building. The incident took place at a condominium in Bang Na Nuea Subdistrict, Bang Na District, Bangkok. Authorities, including Pol. Col. Surapong Sookyaem, superintendent of Bang Na Police Station, Pol. Lt. Attapong Saenjaiwut, deputy investigation officer, forensic officers, medical examiners from Chulalongkorn University, and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, promptly arrived at the scene.

The couple was found behind the G Building, a 25-story structure. Their bodies were discovered lying together on the ground, having fallen from the balcony of their room on the 23rd floor.

Pairat Saengsichit, a condominium security officer, stated that he had been informed by a school van driver who was dropping off students when the driver came across the bodies at the back of the building. Upon inspection, he found the lifeless bodies of a man and a woman lying in the middle of the road and immediately alerted the police.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the couple had entered their condo room together after returning from outside. CCTV footage captured the moment they entered the elevator, where the woman was seen using her mobile phone, which the man then took from her. Approximately 5-6 minutes later, they both fell from the balcony.

Investigators speculate that the man may have seen something on the phone that angered him, leading to a heated argument after they entered the room. This likely resulted in the tragic event. Police are currently gathering evidence from their condo to further the investigation.

According to Maj. Gen. Witawat Chinnakham, Commander of Metropolitan Police Division 5, the deceased man has been identified as a Filipino national, 25, who worked as a language teacher at a school in the Udom Suk area. His wife has been identified as a Chinese national, 30. The couple's room showed signs of a struggle. CCTV footage from outside the building confirmed that they jumped together, although further investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause.

Additional reports suggest that during the incident, the man may have pulled the woman over the balcony as she resisted, leading to the fatal fall. Both were language teachers at different schools.
