Police were called to a Sukhumvit Soi 26 condo unit and found a Japanese man crying over the body of his Thai girlfriend.
Hiroyuki Nakajima said that Khwanjai Phintakan, 33, had jumped from the balcony of the 18th floor condo where they lived together.
Khwanjai, from Bung Karn, was dressed in a pink shirt and black underwear and was lying in a pool of blood, dead from multiple injuries.
In their room Thong Lor police found evidence of a struggle with a lot of items disturbed. The dead woman’s shoes were on the balcony and there were signs that she had climbed over.
CCTV footage at the entrance to the 25 story building showed that the pair had come back at 12.10 am this morning and were arguing. Khwanjai was seen repeatedly hitting Mr Nakajima over the head as they made their way inside the building.
A short while later the Japanese man was seen rushing out of the building to the spot where his girlfriend had fallen. Police were then called.
Mr Nakajima said that he was an employee of a factory in Bang Plee, Samut Prakan and has been in Thailand for many years. He had been arguing with his girlfriend a lot lately.
They had been out at a ramen restaurant in Sukhumvit and he had been drinking and was drunk, he said.
Police believed his story that she had jumped.
However, the body was sent for autopsy and witnesses will be interviewed again before the body is released to relatives.
