A 28-year-old man has been found dead in a rented room in Nakhon Sawan, having suffered 40 stab wounds. Police estimate that he had been dead for one to two days before his body was discovered.

 

At around 10:00 on 19 March, Pol. Lt. Don Kakham of Nong Pling Police Station received a report of a body found in a rented room on Soi Nong Pling Ruam Jai in Mueang district. He immediately informed his superiors and proceeded to the scene with a team of 10 officers, including Pol. Lt. Col. Kraiwat Karawing from the investigation unit.

 

Upon arrival, police noted that the door was unlocked and a foul odour filled the air. Inside, they found the lifeless body of Parusk Thongkham, 28, lying in the middle of the room. He was shirtless, wearing only boxer shorts, and had sustained 40 stab wounds. Investigators believe he had been dead for one to two days as the body had already started decomposing. The room showed signs of a struggle and had been ransacked.

 

A four-month-old puppy was also discovered locked inside the bathroom, abandoned at the scene.

 

Preliminary investigations revealed that Parusk had rented the room for just over a month. Reports suggest he had been selling cannabis to local youths in the area.

 

Forensic officers have collected fingerprints from the scene and seized a knife found inside the room for further examination.

 

A local vendor, 73-year-old Khun Boonyawan, who sells fried chicken at the entrance of the alley, told reporters that the deceased was a regular customer. She mentioned that he would buy chicken scraps daily to feed his puppy.

 

Meanwhile, a neighbour from the opposite house reported that Parusk frequently received visitors. Initially, a white pickup truck would stop by almost daily, but in recent weeks, only motorcycles had been seen arriving at his residence, sometimes carrying one or two individuals. However, no visitors had been noticed in the past two or three days.

 

Police are currently treating the case as a personal dispute and are investigating potential suspects.
