In a tragic incident in Chon Buri's Si Racha district, a 51-year-old woman, Wannapa "Muay" Pimrod, was fatally stabbed on April 29, allegedly by her former boyfriend, 50-year-old Pachara, in a suspected crime of passion. Pachara attempted suicide following the attack but survived and remains in critical condition, under observation at a hospital.

 

Muay was discovered in the home she shared with her current boyfriend, Sanya, who was deeply shocked by the scene. Sanya and Muay had been planning to marry within three years. Pachara, found injured at the back of the house, had sustained multiple self-inflicted stab wounds. Police believe jealousy and entangled relationships motivated the attack, as Muay is reported to have had affairs with several men.

 

Investigation revealed Muay's complex romantic life, involving seven men: Sanya, Pachara, Wan, Komkrit, Natthaphum, Den, and Kaew. Muay had previously been married to Komkrit, with whom she had a son before his passing. She lived with Sanya at the time of her murder, while Den avoided media discussions.

 

Wan, another partner, claimed he was Muay’s husband, stating they had a traditional ceremony in 2023 with a dowry, although without a formal marriage certificate. They maintained contact via daily video calls, unaware of Muay’s cohabitation with Sanya. Muay reportedly claimed to Wan that she lived with her nephew; this discrepancy came to light only after her death.

 

Channel 8 reported Muay identified Natthaphum as her husband on a job application, further complicating the relationships. Kaew, another boyfriend, was questioned by police, revealing that Pachara, Muay's persistent ex, had continued harassing her. Kaew expressed a willingness to confront Pachara if aware of his murderous intentions.

 

Police have yet to question Den and Natthaphum as they continue piecing together the events leading to the murder. All of Muay’s partners, having learned the full extent of her relationships, declined to attend her funeral. Her son retrieved her remains for a ceremony in her home province.

 

The tragic case starkly underscores the potential consequences of jealousy and infidelity, as police aim for clarity in their investigation, awaiting Pachara's recovery for further questioning.
