A 41-year-old woman was shot dead inside her car in the Bang Sue district of Bangkok after rejecting a plea from her gambling-addicted ex-boyfriend to reconcile and move back in with him.

 

The incident took place at approximately 22:00 on 14 March in Soi Pracharat Sai 1, Soi 10. Police from Tao Poon Police Station, forensic experts, and emergency responders were dispatched to the scene following reports of a fatal shooting.

 

At the location, authorities found a white Honda sedan parked inside the premises of a single-storey house. Inside the driver’s seat was the lifeless body of Ms. Laddawan, aged 41, with six gunshot wounds, two to the head, one to the left ear, and others to the neck and chest. The right-side car door had a bullet hole, and spent shell casings were scattered on the ground.

 

A 40-year-old friend of the victim provided insight into the suspect’s motive. The perpetrator, identified as Mr. Kiatthikorn, a freelance game programmer, had struggled with a severe gambling addiction. Over the course of their relationship, he had pawned large amounts of the victim’s gold jewellery, amounting to hundreds of thousands of baht. Unable to tolerate his behaviour any longer, Ms. Laddawan ended their relationship six months ago.

 

Despite the breakup, Mr. Tee continued to linger around her food stall, helping out occasionally, even as she had begun dating someone new.

 

On the night of the murder, Mr. Tee attempted to persuade Ms. Laddawan to return to his condominium in Bang Kruai. A heated argument broke out, and as she entered her car, he suddenly drew a firearm and shot her multiple times before fleeing on a black Honda MSX motorcycle.

 

Friends and family of the victim had warned her repeatedly about the dangers of interacting with Mr. Tee, describing him as a quiet but potentially dangerous individual. She had even discovered a firearm in his possession during a past visit to his residence, prompting her relatives to urge her to avoid him.

 

Authorities quickly gathered evidence and obtained a warrant for Mr. Tee’s arrest. Later, police received a call from the suspect, who expressed his intention to surrender at Ban Pong Police Station in Ratchaburi Province. Investigators took him into custody and bought him back to Tao Poon Police Station for further questioning.
