A murder-suicide unfolded in Muang district of Nakhon Ratchasim, as a 60-year-old man shot and killed his former lover, a 40-year-old fruit smoothie vendor, before turning the gun on himself following a failed attempt to reconcile.

 

Police from the Nakhon Ratchasima City Police Station were alerted to the incident at a three-story apartment complex in Muang Wai Subdistrict. Upon arrival, officers found the lifeless body of Ms. Korn, 40, from Chonburi, outside her ground-floor apartment. She had been shot multiple times, sustaining wounds to her shoulder, chest, abdomen, and thigh.

 

 


Approximately five metres away, the body of Mr. Direk, 60, from Ayutthaya, was discovered with a gunshot wound to the right temple. A 9mm handgun was found next to his body. Forensic teams, along with medical personnel from Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital, were called to examine the scene, and the bodies were later transferred for further autopsy.

 

According to Ms. Ratchanee, a friend of Ms. Korn, the victim had been selling fruit smoothies at the Night Market in Korat. A hardworking woman, she had been supporting her ailing mother. Ms. Korn had previously been involved with Mr. Direk, whom she referred to as “Pa,” but had distanced herself after learning that he had a family.

 

CCTV footage showed Mr. Direk arriving alone at the apartment, where he knocked on Ms. Korn’s door. The footage captured Ms. Korn attempting to flee moments after letting him inside, but Mr. Direk chased her down, firing several shots before taking his own life with the same gun.

 

Authorities believe the motive was jealousy, as Mr. Direk’s attempts to reconcile with Ms. Korn were unsuccessful. The case is still under investigation.
