A family of four was found dead at their home in Bangkok‘s Taling Chan district Monday night in what police believe to be a murder-suicide.
Two parents, their 9-year-old son and daughter aged 13 were found around 7pm lying next to one another in a bedroom on the second floor of a two-storey townhouse in Kaew Villa housing estate in Soi Charan Sanitwong 35.
Pol Col Sukij Arronrerktawil, chief of Bang Khun Non police station, said a gun was found on the body of the father identified only as Boonyarit aged 48.
The discovery was made after their neighbours found the house locked from inside with lights and air-conditioner left on. No one had been seen since morning. The neighbours felt something was amiss and called police.
