Police sergeant in suspected murder-suicide
THE SUNDAY NATION

BANGKOK: -- A SECRETARY to national police chief Gen Somyot Pumpanmuang was found dead in a Thung Song Hong police flat in Bangkok's Lak Si district on Friday, while the body of her police husband was found - hanging from a tree - in a wooded area on Mitraparp Highway in Nakhon Ratchasima's Pak Chong district yesterday.

Police Sergeant Napapat Nuan-eiad's body was found on Friday with blunt force trauma to the head, two days after she was killed, inside the room where the couple stayed for three months.

Napapat, 29, had missed work for two days without prior notice, so her colleagues were suspicious and sent someone to check on her. They found her body but her husband, Police Sergeant Natthapong Nuan-eiad, was missing.

Police spokesman Pol Lt Gen Prawut Thavornsiri said Natthapong used to work at Somyot's office during the time Somyot was a deputy national police chief but the hot tempered Natthapong was later transferred to his affiliation command.

Napapat had asked for a transfer to Uthai Thani Highway Police command, and Natthapong had sought the same transfer, Prawut said. But the 31-year-old Natthapong found out that his name was not on the transfer list, so he was reportedly angry and argued with his wife, committed the crime and fled, Prawut said. He said Somyot's old name card was pinned to a tree near Natthapong's body. He said Natthapong might have felt slighted.

Napapat's elder sister Pichaporn Boonrung said Napapat had been with Natthapong for two years and registered their marriage last May. "As far as I know, the man was hot tempered and jealous so he often argued with my sister to the point of assault once," she said.

The police autopsy found her sister was strangled and hit on the head with a blunt object and sustained a right eye socket bruise, she said. Her body will be taken to Lop Buri province for her funeral.

In Nakhon Ratchasima, Natthapong's aunt Ratree Phothai said her nephew was normally calm and tidy and she didn't believe he would kill himself to avoid punishment, as local police suspect.

Natthapong was believed to have died a day before his body was discovered. An autopsy will be done at Nakhon Ratchasima Hararat Hospital morgue.

I'm so confused Thai's don't do this.

I'm assuming that she used her position to get a transfer, and ensure her husband didn't, as a means of separation.

The emotional immaturity of yet another Thai man on display.

The sad thing is these people are the leaders. What chance do the rest stand.

Slim to none, and Slim is on life support.

Somyot's name card was pinned to the tree the guy was hanging off, according to another report I read in the bp.

May both of them Rest in Peace.

And may be the husband will be judged by his creator when he meets him.

Now is all a sad history, what's the point of criticizing him or others?

He also got a family, left behind.

It is just possible that the wife knew something about her boss. She was SECRETARY to national police chief Gen Somyot Pumpanmuang.

It could be that both deaths wee arranged.

That's getting a bit passe don't you think?

Thats only half the population, think the other half is no different, any Thai Tv soap will verify " how to behave"

May both of them Rest in Peace.

His "creator" exploded millions of years ago, you can see it everyday its called "sunrise"

Sorry Costas but got to disagree with you here. The man beat his wife and then murdered her (allegedly, if proven different later I will apologise) when she apparently was going to escape his violence. He deserves all the abuse he gets.

This story is being covered/discussed on the CSI LA facebook page, all is not what it seems!

A Sargent is a leader in your mind?

At 29 years and 31 years old these were not leaders.

I suppose this is the simple solution much easier than talking things through lets just do it the Thai way so no one will lose face

I would take a reasonable bet that there is either another woman or another man involved.

An off topic deflection post has been removed as well as a reply.

Any migrant workers nearby can't have the reputation of Thailand's finest tarnished.

They were in the police force. A force that is meant to lead a country. Does that make them leaders or followers ?

You should look up to a countries police force. Tho I can see why you wouldn't look up to them in this country.

Try tell that to eg. TV-member "Dieselnoi"

Is it just possible that this is just another sad occurance in a country that is not of your motherland, where murder suicides happen on an almost daily basis involving husbands and wives, and or loved ones.....why in Thailand do we always have to over question the reality of life that happens in every state and territory all around the world.

It is likely we will never know the truth. But we will be told something that someone wants us to believe, rightly or wrongly

WHY.....?... does everyone immediately brand all Thai people the same? Why does everyone blame it on 'Thai culture'? Look back over the last 20 - 30 years and you can find similar stories about British police officers. Look at the USA and you will probably find similar cases. Look at almost any country in the world and you will almost certainly find cases like this. Whatever the cause, two young people dying is a sad event. Instead of blaming Thai-ness, blame an unhappy, possibly disturbed, state of mind. No one does such things in a sensible, sane condition. It would be so nice to see a bit more compassion and understanding on this site, instead of non stop, self righteous criticism and condemnation.

May both of them Rest in Peace.

And may be the husband will be judged by his creator when he meets him.

costas the country is in better shape without a shit like this still stealing oxygen..as for being judged by his creator thats his parents yes..

Why is it that every event, a murder, a normal death of an old person; anything at all; is blamed on Thai's or Thailand. He we are, TV posts questioning Emotions and Leadership of Thai's. All you need to do is to read the U.S news where everyday gruesome stuff are reported. Police brutality, gun violence, school kids murdering their own mates and teachers, even cannibalism. Why don't these bastards who whine about everything here crawl back to wherever they come from...

Leaders, are you kidding? Sadly, but they were just workers like postal workers. Crazy leaders are Boko Harlem.

This is a story of a Thai man murdering his wife. Why would we be discussing cops and school kids killing each other in America ?

Have you seen the news whenever a American cop kills a black man or a school massacre happens in U.S. school ? Have you noticed no one starts a news report by saying "this happens all the time in Thailand".

I'm so confused Thai's don't do this.

Thainess?

Which never happens in any other country on the planet right ?

When are the bitter and twisted on here ever going to change the <deleted> record !

This isnt in another country on the planet. It is in Thailand. If you dont get it, this is a Thai related forum.

When are you ever going to change the >deleted< record.
