Teacher Murdered In Bang Na

[Ijustwannateach]

A friend of mine who works at Assumption Bang Na (a high school) told me yesterday that one of his foreign colleagues was found murdered in his apartment- strangled and stabbed, I believe.

I don't know his nationality or other details, but pictures of his body were apparently shown (sigh) on Thai TV news.

Anyone have more info?

Anyone? I asked our maid and she doesn't know anything about it. We are in Bangna.

I got some mates at ABAC, I'll ask.

Here as a link to the story as reported in the Thai language daily 'The Thai Raj' this morning

It wasn't a foreigner at all but a gay (The Thai Raj loves going into such details!) Thai native Thai language teacher, 43, of 'Assumption School Samut Prakarn' Named, Mr Somkiart Kinchampa

When his body was recovered, he had already been dead, in his townhouse, for at least 3 days.

His body has been sent to Bkk Police Hospital to be analysed for exact cause of death.

The police are investigating 'robbery' as a motive.

This is a very brief overview. Full story in Thai language at Thai Raj.

Yes, it's too bad. Thanks for the info and the link- I didn't have very accurate info, obviously.
