"Tom" shot execution style in rented room in Trang - killing mystifies neighbors

TRANG: -- Police in Trang in southern Thailand were called after reports that a woman was shot dead in a rented room in the Wiankrapang Soi 4 area of the city.

 

Neighbors said they had heard one gunshot. In the back of a house cops found the body of a woman they named as Jiranan, 25.

She had been shot once in the head. She was siting on the floor wearing shorts and a t-shirt and her left leg was tucked under her body, reported Sannook.

 

Relatives of the girl came while forensics were processing the scene and said that Jiranan used to work as a cook at a hotel in Trang but was now unemployed. She split her time going to and fro from the SiKao area and downtown Trang. 

 

She was a "tom" (a woman who likes to assume the appearance of a man and usually has relationships with women). Relatives were baffled as to why she might have been killed.

 

A 15 year old youth nearby gave evidence that the deceased had been out earlier to an entertainment venue in the town.

 

Neighbors said that people of both sexes would visit the deceased's house frequently and at irregular hours.

 

The body was taken for autopsy. Forensics expected to discover the caliber of bullet that was lodged in her head and that this might give a lead in the case.

 

Investigations continue.

A harsh punishment for not having a " licka"   licence

RIP, but sounds like a bit of a love triangle (although probably not really including love lol).

 

Possibly another Tom trying to assert her 'manly ego'?

[Chapelroad]

If I say too much I will get a suspension.

[sahibji]

with all the traffic at the victim's house, it could be any body involved in this issue.

A "TOM" is the same as a Ladyboy but opposite sex. Most are butches!

[PomRakBKK]

Drug related? People visiting constantly at odd hours - I am guessing in the night time or early morning. 

25 is way too young to die, no matter for what she has done.

...sorry for the family...

 

...but...

 

...sorry to say....with the aggressive behavior and attitude of many of these 'toms' ....I am surprised that this doesn't happen more often....

Your two theories are based on what?

The past.

"She was a "tom" (a woman who likes to assume the appearance of a man and usually has relationships with women). Relatives were baffled as to why she might have been killed."

 

I'm baffled as to why her lifestyle choice is used in this headline.

Anyone who can read between the lines would suspect that  Tom's lifestyle choice is a significant factor in her passing.

Wrong.

A "tom" is a lesbian woman that identifies with her female gender but presents in a masculine way.

What you're talking about is a TRANSGENDER man ... a women that identifies as a different gender than her birth gender, and may be sexually attracted to women, men, or both. 

So many people ignorantly conflate sexual orientation with gender identity.

I think Tomwct was just trying to make a simple comparison using opposites to make it easy. 

 

Ladyboy = Dude looks like a lady (Aerosmith)

Tom = Lady looks like a dude

 

But I appreciate what you are saying and I am happy for people to live and let live, whatever floats their boat.

autopsy will centre around whether, and Who's: Semen or Saliva is found in an obvious location

 

...a 'lead'...

 

yes the lead had Lead init

[dunroaming]

During my time in Thailand we employed several Toms, some were pushy bitches and some were great people, just like everyone else in the world.  Homophobia is alive and well on here as usual.

[oxo1947]

Some Thai Tom once asked me how people view lesbians in my country-----Oz.

Apparently 'Usually in HD' wasn't the answer they were looking for...................

I wonder if police are considering the possibility that this killing might be related to the rash of bombings?

 

Southern Thailand location, sexual orientation of victim, "execution style" killing, neighbors "mystified as to motive," timing which coincides with the bombings makes me wonder.

Seems very doubtful.

I don't know how you can be so sure, Jingthing.

 

The Orlando gay nightclub shooting was at least in part ISIS inspired, one of the bombing incidents occurred in Trang which is where this murder took place, and the "execution style" killing suggests the possibility that the killer might have had military/combat experience. With no immediate apparent motive for the killing, I would think this possibility should at least be considered.

Nor would I.  There are murders in Thailand just about every day for numerous reasons.

so if it's an African the headlines would be "Black shot in Trang"?  or a straight person  "Hetrosexual shot in Trang"?

Oh my, not only must I read about bombings down south, but in the midst of that I encounter what may qualify as a new low in posting by the ThaiVisa rabble.  A very classy statement indeed relative to the death of a young woman.  May those attending your funeral service be reminded about the above post and your empathy towards others as a reminder of how not to live life.
