Gambling Debts Thought To Be The Cause Of Apparent Suicide Of Swedish Man’s Thai Wife

Police Lieutenant Girasak from Banglamung Police Station was called to a house at the Maerkmai Village 2 in Banglamung on Tuesday Morning after reports of a suicide occurring at the house were received. Police and rescue workers arrived and were met by the Husband of the deceased, Mr. Jesper Semitjow aged 44 from Sweden who discovered the body of his Wife, Khun Pornsilee aged 32 in the bathroom when he awoke.

She had apparently hung herself from the top of the shower unit. Mr. Semitjow removed his Wife’s body from the noose but realized she had passed away some hours before. He explained to us that his Wife would often make trips to the Casino’s in Poi Pet in Cambodia and had accumulated large debts which she was unable to pay back to unlicensed money lenders who had been pressurizing her to repay the money. Police inspected the body and house and found nothing untoward; however they are continuing to question Mr. Semitjow at this time before they close the case.
