At 7.30 am on Monday the 13th of January Pattaya Police Lieutenant Colonel Nathawat was informed of a shooting incident on Beach Road a couple of hundred meters away from Pattaya Police Station. He rushed to the scene outside The Hard Rock Hotel on Beach Road where he found the body of a young lady laying in the gutter.
The deceased Khun Sariyar aged 27 had been shot three times in her head and was declared dead at the scene by a forensic police medic who arrived on scene soon after. It appears that Khun Sariyar who was wearing her work uniform was just setting out for work, she works as an office worker at NPE company in Pattaya.
The police collected three .38 shell casings from the scene and interviewed a speedboat operator nearby who had witnessed the incident. He said that he had heard the victim shout NO and then heard three gunshots. He looked over and saw the gunman jump onto a Honda Click motorcycle and flee the scene. Unfortunately he could not see the killers face as he was wearing a full face helmet.
Later enquiries at the deceased office revealed that Khun Sariyar was a good looking girl who would often chat with friends on Facebook. This infuriated her boyfriend Khun Supachoke who would often quarrel with her about her chats with other men.
Apparantly Khun Supachoke was also a Faceook fan and had posted a picture of himself holding a knife to his girlfriends throat and threatening to kill her. It is to be hoped that the police catch the suspect soon and then maybe we can all look at his sorry face on Facebook as he sits in a Thai Jail cell.
