webfact Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Love triangle turns deadly in Phuket PHUKET: Police have arrested two people for the brutal stabbing murder of a Kathu town council member in a Phuket Town hotel late yesterday afternoon. Lt Col Pitakpon Sompong said staff at the Park Inn Hotel on Luang Phor Rd contacted police at 6:30pm yesterday to report a heated argument taking place inside Room 30. Just as police were arriving they found a man and a woman on a motorbike acting suspiciously and hurriedly preparing to leave. They stopped the couple, later identified as Sutthika Saekhoy, 30, and Jeerawat Chainakin, 31. Under questioning the couple confessed to murdering 42-year-old Wassana Chaiyarab, a member of Kathu Municipality. Inside the room, the police found Mr Wassana’s body lying on the floor next to the bed with a deep knife wound to the left side of his chest. Blood stains covered the walls of the room as well as the bathroom. A round length of iron found at the scene was also collected as evidence by police. A hotel staff member who identified himself as ‘Chumphon’ told the Gazette the couple arrived at the hotel at about 5:30pm. Mr Wassana arrived about 15 minutes later. “I heard an argument from inside the room that lasted about 10 minutes before suddenly turning quiet. I reported this to the hotel owner, who called police,” he said. Under police questioning Ms Sutthika said she once had a relationship with Mr Wassana and gave birth to twin children fathered by him before they broke up. -- Phuket Gazette 2010-01-07 [newsfooter][/newsfooter] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
