Thai woman’s parents suspect that she may have been murdered and raise their concerns
Her parents strongly suspect that the death of their daughter may have been murder. They made the comments after they had arrived from Roiet to retrieve their daughter’s body. They did not believe that the young woman had committed suicide, which is what the scene looked like after her friends secured a key from the student dormitory facility to enter it just before midnight on Monday last, the 17th December. A friend had knocked on her door that morning to rouse her for class. Both this friend and the young woman found dead, had been drinking the night before and the friend lived next door in the student dormitory building located in the Don Tako tambon in central Ratchaburi.
