After her death on Monday on Koh Samui, a French woman apparently left about 100 million baht of her estate to her Thai lady.

Catherine Delacote, 59, the employer of five swimming villas on the beach area, officially granted 100- million- bass worth of assets to Nutwalai Phupongta, 49, her housemaid of 17 years.

Ms Nutwalai said the assets included the palace she was living in at the time of Delacote’s dying, a two- ray area story near the mansion, cash, a car and various assets.

Delacote and her ex- partner, who is also European, moved to the beach 12 years previously, Ms Nutwalai said, adding that the pair after divorced and the deceased lived in the palace only.

According to Pol Maj Yannaphat Malai, the local train investigator, Delacote was reported to have died by a rifle on Monday.

At her palace in Koh Samui, French woman Catherine Delacote was discovered shot dead.

A 45mm automated weapons, a gun barrel, a glass of liquor, a pair of glasses and a pack of cigarettes were found near the body, he said.

A shotgunshot opening was discovered in a palace door and a spent bullet was discovered inside the house, according to Pol Maj Yannaphat.

Delacote’s indifferent system and pool of blood were discovered by a lake maintenance worker at 8am, he claimed. The worker next called his manager to alert the police.

He claimed that a medical group from a local doctor was called in and eventually moved her figure to the ground in an attempt to resuscitate her before the police arrived.

Further investigation revealed that Delacote had formerly given Ms Nutwalai 500, 000 baht to pay for her death, he claimed.

Ms. Nutwalai, who resides in a different house, claimed that Delacote sent messages to some people shortly before her passing that she would give her estate to her lady. She claimed that she believed her company committed suicide.

According to reports, the dying informed Ms. Nutwalai that she had cancer. Yet, she did not say something about wishing to commit murder, the lady said.

According to Ms. Nutwalai, Delacote purchased the weapons found at the field following a break-in robbery at the palace a while ago.
