On Friday night, a senior local administrator from Pathum Thani’s Khlong Luang district found dead with multiple stab wounds to her neck at her home.

According to Pol Lt Kriangkrai Srimai, deputy investigation chief at the Khlong Luang police station, the incident occurred at village Moo 8 in tambon Khlong Sam, which was called at around 10.50pm on Friday.

Police, local officials, forensic experts and rescue workers found the body of a woman, identified later as Vorakanok Thepphimol, 57, dead with 11 stab wounds to her neck in front of the bathroom of the one-storey house, located in the same compound as her younger sister’s house.

Her right hand suffered a few knife cuts, and the floor had blood stains. According to the police, the house had no indications of a fight or house looting. Her valuables, including her phone, a Buddha amulet, and her gold necklace, remained intact.

The Khlong Sam Tambou Organization ( TAO ) had Vorakanok as its head of office.

Bongkot Kaewkrom, 51, the victim’s younger sister who found the body, told police that she heard her sister screaming loudly twice at about 9.30pm on Friday. When she arrived home, she discovered her sister squirming in a pool of blood. She called the police and the neighborhood rescuers right away.

She claimed that no one ever had a conflict with her sister. Vorakanok, who has worked for the TAO since 1996, has never complained about issues at her place of employment.

On Friday, she observed her sister at her home at around 3 p.m. Her house is about 20 metres from her sister’s house.

At about 5pm, Vorakanok’s son came to the house to pick up his grandmother, who often stayed at Vorakanok’s house, said Ms Bongkot.

Phuchit Thepphimol claimed to have seen him at around 7pm when his mother came out to see him. He was in the dark about what happened.

The Khlong Luang police station’s chief, Pol Col Kiarttisak Mitprasart, claimed that investigators were looking through closed-circuit television cameras in nearby neighborhoods to look for any clues.

The cause of the death has not yet been determined by police.

The body was sent to Thammasat University Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
