A grim discovery was made this evening of 9 June, in Bangkok’s Bang Khae district when the body of a woman was found stuffed inside a white Honda HR-V with the engine and air-conditioning left running for more than 12 hours.

 

Pol Col Pramot Janboonkaew, Superintendent of Phetkasem Police Station, received the report at around 22:00 and quickly dispatched officers and a rescue team from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation to the scene, a row of townhouses in Soi Phetkasem 67, Lak Song subdistrict.

 

At the location, the vehicle, a white Honda HR-V with Bangkok licence plates, was found parked in the alley. The body of a woman was discovered inside the vehicle.

 

According to neighbours, the car is usually parked in the area, but suspicions arose earlier in the day when a local resident’s son returned home at 11:00 and noticed the car was partially obstructing the road. He was puzzled as the vehicle had been idling with the air conditioning running for hours without any movement. The same neighbour noted that the car’s owner had frequently argued with a woman in the past, who is believed to be the deceased.

 

Initial police investigations suggest the woman was murdered and then placed in the car, which was left running in an attempt to slow decomposition. There are also unconfirmed reports that the suspect was still be at the scene, possibly hiding on the rooftop of one of the adjacent buildings. Police sealed off the area as they conducted a search of the area throughout the night.

UPDATE
Murder Suspect in Car Shooting of Partner Detained

A car salesman accused of fatally shooting his partner and leaving her body in a parked car has been remanded in custody, while showing signs of severe mental distress. Police have opposed bail on grounds of the seriousness of the crime and potential flight risk.

 

The suspect, 34-year-old Mr. Meepaphat, was taken to the Thonburi Criminal Court on the morning of 11 June, by investigators from Phetkasem Police Station. He faces multiple charges, including murder, illegal possession of a firearm (registered but not under his name), unlawful public carrying of a weapon and discharging a firearm without cause.

 

The body of the victim, his girlfriend, was discovered inside a vehicle on Soi Phetkasem 67, Sub-soi 8, Bangkok. CCTV footage and forensic evidence appear to support the charge of murder. Forensic analysis indicates the shot was fired from the rear seat, striking the woman in the back of the head and exiting through her right temple before shattering the driver’s side window.

 

According to police, Mr. Meepaphat spent the night pacing restlessly in his holding cell, showing signs of agitation and anxiety. When his elder brother and relatives visited him at the police station earlier in the day, they reported that he was incoherent and unresponsive. The family has since indicated they are unlikely to seek bail.

 

As the suspect was escorted to the police van for transfer to court, reporters attempted to question him about his motives. Mr. Meepaphat remained largely silent, offering no insight into the events or his reasoning. He did, however, quietly express a desire to apologise to the victim and said he still loved their child. Visibly emotional, he clutched a handkerchief in his fist as the van drove off.

 

Though he denied all charges during initial questioning and gave what police described as “confused and circular” answers, officers do not believe the suspect was intoxicated or suffering from any psychiatric disorder. His official statement was given in the presence of a lawyer and his brother.

 

Investigators are continuing their work to confirm the bullet trajectory and examine the vehicle in further detail. A second vehicle, which the suspect reportedly drove alongside the victim’s car to stop it, prior to the shooting, is still missing. Police are working to locate it as part of the broader investigation.
