Gambling debts are thought to be the cause of an apparent double suicide in Sriracha.
For this tragic story we go to Sriracha District and to house number 98 in Huoymannow sub-district. Police Colonel Worapon, the Chief of Sriracha Police was called to the location after rescue workers reported two dead people inside the house. The dead Husband and Wife appeared to have both committed suicide. The man, Khun Chatchai had apparently hung himself from a roof beam and the woman, Khun Noopon was found dead in the bedroom. For now Police think she took a drugs overdose but are waiting for the results of a post mortem examination before they can confirm the cause of her death. We spoke with local residents who explained to us that the family were known to be heavy gamblers and may have run up a considerable gambling debt. Their Son had already gone to Bangkok, a few days earlier to avoid debt collectors. Police believe this led to the pair committing suicide. Following procedure the house was checked for anything suspicious and nothing was found. For now the incident appears to be a double suicide however Polcie have not discounted the involvement of a third party in the deaths.
