A 26-year-old woman was fatally shot in the head by her former boyfriend, after she refused his plea to rekindle their relationship. The suspect, reportedly from a well-known local family, fled the scene in a modified pickup truck, prompting a police manhunt.

 

Police from Kanchanadit Police Station received an emergency call at 19:40 on 6 July, reporting a shooting at a private residence in Moo 4, Thung Kong subdistrict, Kanchanadit district, Surat Thani province. Rescue workers from the Kusol Sattha Foundation were dispatched to the scene along with investigating officers.

 

The victim, later identified as Ms Supajanee Saelim 26, of Kiansa district, was found lying on her back inside the property. A gunshot wound to the head was the cause of death. The weapon used has not yet been officially identified.

 

According to eyewitnesses, the suspect was named as Mr Wirapong Na Nakhon, also known as “Bee,” aged 36, of Phra Saeng district. He and Ms Supajanee had previously been in a relationship, but she had recently decided to end it. On the evening of the incident, Mr Wirapong is said to have confronted her at the house in a last attempt to reconcile.

 

When his efforts were rebuffed, he allegedly drew a firearm and shot her at close range. He then fled the scene in a grey, single-cab, Toyota Revo pickup truck.

 

Police have since alerted nearby stations to be on the lookout for the vehicle and suspect, who remains at large. Authorities say the suspect was likely armed at the time of his escape and should be considered dangerous, with police vowing to bring the perpetrator to justice.
