A Singaporean man, Daniel Benjamin Goh Wei-en, is suspected of murdering his Thai girlfriend, Proudphilas Paladon, in a Bangkok condominium and reportedly fleeing to Tachileik, Myanmar. Proudphilas, aged 30, was discovered dead and unclothed in her Bangkok accommodation on March 25. Her body, partially covered with cloth and blankets, showed no visible wounds but was found to have bruises on her arms and mouth.

 

Security footage reveals Daniel leaving the condominium in a black Mercedes-Benz with his belongings at 3.17pm, alongside missing items such as Proudphilas's luxury watch and designer handbag. An autopsy listed acute heart failure as the cause of death, but further toxicology tests are underway.

 

Only Daniel and Proudphilas occupied the condo unit, with no visitors present at the time of her death. Proudphilas's mother accuses Daniel of murder, citing her daughter's reports of abuse and explicit warnings that Daniel would be responsible if harm befell her.

 

The couple, who began dating in Singapore, had been together over three years. Recently, Daniel urged Proudphilas to quit her job, financially supporting her thereafter. The couple last left the condo on March 23 to celebrate Proudphilas's birthday but returned separately.

 

 

 

Despite missing a call from Proudphilas on the morning of her death, friends allege Daniel's pattern of jealousy and abuse. Proudphilas had previously filed an assault complaint against him.

 

Post-incident, Daniel used a ride-hailing app to travel from the condo to a Soi Sukhumvit 71 restaurant, then to a hotel in the Makkasan area. A witness saw him meet two men there, after which they departed in an SUV heading towards Chiang Rai, northern Thailand.

 

Thai police suspect Daniel reached out to contacts in Tachileik, Myanmar, for assistance in evading capture. Authorities are actively tracing those who may have assisted his escape, hoping to apprehend him and uncover more about the circumstances surrounding Proudphilas's tragic death, reported The Thaiger.

She should have walked away at that time...

Myanmar Junta appealing for help after the earthquake.  How about coughing up a fugitive as a show of good faith?

I suspect the ruling junta there is just a bit preoccupied at the moment...

Sounds like he was violent and connected to crime.  Probably too scared to leave.
