A 44-year-old woman is in critical condition after allegedly shooting herself in the chest at her home in Khlong Luang district late on the morning of 29 July. A handwritten suicide note blaming her father over financial issues was recovered at the scene.

At approximately 11:30, police at Khlong Luang Police Station were alerted to a shooting incident in Soi Khotchasarn 1/3, Moo 18, Khlong Nueng subdistrict. Investigators, led by Pol.Lt. Adisak Kochasak and Pol.Sub.Lt. Weera Sukchana, arrived at the single-storey house accompanied by local patrol officers, detectives and rescue personnel from Tha Khlong Municipality.

Inside a bedroom, officers found Ms Patcharin, 44, lying on a bed with a gunshot wound above her left breast. A homemade firearm of unknown calibre was discovered beside her and taken into evidence. She was still alive and was swiftly transferred by municipal rescue workers to Thammasat University Hospital.

A one-page handwritten note believed to have been written by the victim was discovered nearby. In the note, she expressed deep emotional distress and criticised her father over long-standing debt issues, suggesting financial hardship played a role in her actions.

Her father, Mr Boonchuay 76, told police he was sitting outside the house and did not hear the gunshot. He stated that his daughter had not shown signs of conflict with her husband, who was not at home when the incident occurred.

Pol.Lt. Adisak confirmed that photographs were taken as evidence, and further investigation is ongoing. The victim’s husband is expected to be questioned as part of the inquiry.
