BANGKOK - Two gay hotel security guards who were also lovers fought to death in an arguement fuelled by jealousy, police said.
Pol Capt Songpol Nimpaiboon of Phra Ratchawang police station said he received a report of the incident at a luxury 24-storey hotel in Bangkok's Phra Nakhon district on Thursday night.
On arrival, police found Wittawas Saeng-ard, 28, lying dead in a pool of blood on the rooftop. There were at least 10 stab wounds on his body.
The other guard, Sinchai Neesantier, 52, were found dead on the first floor lobby roof. His body was almost torn in half and his arms and legs were broken.
Witnesses at the hotel told investigators that the two men were lovers and had frequent arguments. Witnesses also heard Sinchai recently tell Wittawas, who was good looking, that if he cheated on him he would kill him and then commit suicide.
On Thursday night the two men were seen arguing at the rooftop of the hotel. Sinchai wildly stabbed his lover to death and later jumped off the building, landing on the lobby roof, below police said.
