A Thai woman tragically committed suicide in her car in Chon Buri province after losing over 3 million baht to her unfaithful girlfriend. The victim’s family attempted to pursue legal action against the girlfriend but were unable to gather sufficient evidence.
The death of the 33 year old woman, identified as Suthathip, was reported to Panthong Police Station on November 1. Her lifeless body was discovered inside her white hatchback, parked on the left lane of a road in the Panthong district of Chon Buri. A charcoal stove was found inside the vehicle.
Suthathip’s sister and father have since sought justice for her by sharing her story with various news programmes, claiming her suicide was linked to financial losses and betrayal by her girlfriend named Mintra.
Channel 3 invited Suthathip’s sister to appear on the news programme Hone Krasae, where she shared further details of the situation.
The sister revealed that Suthathip had been in a relationship with Mintra for around seven months from March to November. The couple rarely met in person, communicating mostly online, and had seen each other only four or five times during the relationship.
According to the sister, Suthathip frequently transferred money to her girlfriend, amounting to over 3 million baht. Mintra reportedly claimed she needed the money for cancer treatment. The sister insisted the funds were not given out of affection but were given to Mintra as a loan.
After Suthathip’s death, the family discovered that Mintra was in a relationship with another woman and was planning to marry her soon. It was also revealed that Mintra had been dating both Suthathip and the other woman at the same time.
The sister claimed that Suthathip was aware of the affair and urged her girlfriend to end the relationship with the other woman but Mintra refused.
Adding to Suthathip’s distress, Mintra reportedly shared a pre-wedding photoshoot with her new partner on social media, which the family believes contributed to Suthathip’s decision to end her life.
The family further suspected that the fraud may have involved others, as the bank account to which Suthathip transferred the money was not in Mintra’s name.
They are now gathering more evidence to file a complaint against Mintra for fraud.
