The victim's boyfriend, 49-year-old Toi, took her to a hospital on February 28, claiming she had attempted suicide. Medical staff pronounced the woman dead on arrival, revealing she had likely been without oxygen for 30 minutes, causing fatal brain injuries. Her family, suspicious of blood around her mouth, alleged Toi had assaulted her, contradicting his account that she bled as he removed medicine.

Relatives requested an autopsy and accessed the victim’s phone to view CCTV footage, which they believe proves murder. The footage reportedly captured a violent argument between the couple, during which Toi made threats while the woman pleaded for her life. The recording continued to show Toi dragging the woman and wiping her mouth, intensifying suspicions of an assault.

Further investigation was demanded by the family, who also discovered a suspicious substance in the room, possibly cyanide. Despite initial police conclusions of suicide, citing the woman’s depression, public pressure led authorities to reassess the case. Toi, arrested at a resort in Suphan Buri, denies all charges and awaits further interrogation following complete autopsy results, reported The Thaiger.
