After finding the bodies on Wednesday and checking CCTV footage, police said that Phumiphat ‘Ikkyu’ Chaiwanichaya, 18, shot his ex-girlfriend Supitcha ‘Gigi’ Pridacharoen, 20, before killing himself with a 9mm pistol, which was found at the crime scene.
The gun was registered to Chaiwanichaya’s retired high-ranking army general father Somchai Chaiwanichaya, according to Thaiger.
Pridacharoen broke up with Chaiwanichaya two months ago after being subject to physical abuse on multiple occasions, according to reports.
