The owner of a karaoke bar in Sing Buri province was found shot dead in her bedroom on the evening of 13 April, prompting police to launch a manhunt for her missing husband.

 

At approximately 19:30, Lieutenant Subin Sukkasem of the Bang Rachan Camp Police Station received a report of a woman shot dead inside a karaoke venue in Village 5, Tha Kham subdistrict, Bang Rachan district, Sing Buri.

 

 

Upon arrival at the scene, police discovered the body of Ms. Ingfah, a 38-year-old Bangkok native, lying face up on a bed. She had sustained a gunshot wound to the head, apparently inflicted by a 9mm handgun. A bullet casing was found on the floor nearby. Authorities estimated that she had been dead for at least six hours.

 

Mr. Chan, the bar’s caretaker, told police that the victim had opened the karaoke business just over a month ago and was in the process of applying for an official operating licence. He added that she would typically visit the venue every weekend with her husband to oversee operations and review financial accounts.

 

According to Mr. Chan, the victim attempted to call him in the morning, but he missed the call and later found her phone unresponsive. Assuming she was asleep, he arrived at the venue in the afternoon to prepare for opening. Not finding her in the common areas, he unlocked the bedroom, saw her lying on the bed, and assumed she was still sleeping, so he closed the door and locked it again.

 

It wasn’t until later, when he returned to check again and received no response upon calling her, that he unlocked the room and discovered she had been fatally shot.

 

The victim’s husband has not been seen since the incident and cannot be contacted. No firearm was recovered at the scene.

 

The body has been sent for autopsy while police continue their investigation. Authorities are actively searching for the missing husband as a person of interest in the case.

A man has surrendered to police after fatally shooting his wife, the owner of a karaoke bar in Sing Buri province, following a heated argument.

 

The suspect, identified as Mr. Pramote, turned himself in at Bang Rachan District Police Station at approximately 15:30 on 14 April, accompanied by relatives. The victim, Ms. Ingfah, was found shot dead inside the couple’s home, which is located behind the karaoke bar she owned in the Bang Rachan district.

 

CCTV footage from inside the premises showed that prior to the incident, the couple had been arguing. Investigators said that Mr. Pramote became enraged after being verbally abused by his wife. He then reportedly dragged her into the bedroom and shot her before fleeing the scene.

 

Following his surrender, Mr. Pramote was questioned by police for over two hours. Pol. Col. Chaiwat Kiatkongkamchai, Deputy Commander of Sing Buri Provincial Police, stated that the suspect confessed to the crime, claiming he acted out of anger and emotional distress.

 

Later in the day, officers escorted Mr. Pramote to the scene of the crime to re-enact the events as part of the investigative process, a standard procedure in Thai criminal investigations.

 

Authorities have charged Mr. Pramote with murder.
