Banglamung Police officers were dispatched to investigate the death of a 66 year old lady in North Pattaya.
At the house in Moo 8 of Baan Thungkrat they found the dead body of 66 year old grandmother Khun Pairin. She was laying face down on the bed in a pool of blood. It appears that she had been dead for about 3-4 hours and it is thought that she died from wounds inflicted to her arms and a self inflicted stab wound to her chest. A 15 inch kitchen knife was also at the scene.
The body had been found by her cousin Khun Malidar aged 46. A niece of the deceased Khun Arita aged 30 explained that her Aunt had recently been released from the Srithanya Hospital in Bangkok, which specialises in dealing with mental health patients and was due to go back as an out patient.
She had suffered from mental health problems for a long time and despite being released from hospital she was suicidal and still mentally unstable and would suffer from sudden and unexplained mood swings.
A post mortem will be carried out before the body is released back to the family for funeral rites to be carried out.
