A Thai man shot and killed his ex-girlfriend, a TikTok influencer, in front of her 2-year-old son by the roadside in Saraburi province. When pursued by police, he shot himself dead on a highway.
According to Thai media reports, the tragedy occurred on Monday (8th) at Phahon Yothin Road in Saraburi province, Thailand. The Saraburi city police responded to the report and, upon arrival, found 26-year-old Thai woman Pon lying next to her white Honda Jazz.
According to reports, Pon was an employee at a local gas station who also managed a TikTok account with over 200,000 followers.
Police found fatal gunshot wounds on the victim’s back and neck, and also found her 2-year-old child inside the car, who was unharmed.
According to the police, the suspect Beer was previously a fuel tanker driver and had arranged to meet the victim, proposing to provide her with fuel.
Moreover, police said they would investigate the case from the angles of a love triangle and a work dispute.
According to "DailyNews" reports, Pon initially had a son with Kla. After the couple separated, Pon dated Beer, and later broke up with him as well. Recently, Pon reconciled with Kla, leading police to suspect that this complicated relationship was one of the motives.
In addition, police found that Pon had previously reported Beer’s violations to her company supervisor, which led to Beer being fired a few days before the incident. Police believe this may also have played a role in the motive.
After the incident, police located the suspect’s vehicle on Friendship Highway in Nakhon Ratchasima and began a chase. During the pursuit, the suspect’s vehicle blew a tire and was forced to stop. When officers approached the car, they found the suspect dead inside, believed to have committed suicide with a gun.
