Police seek son missing
after
laundry owner killed in East Pattaya
Police are searching for a 17-year-old Soi Khao Noi youth
who disappeared after his mother was found dead in the parking near their
home.
Itthiphol Ngamying has not been seen since the
blood-soaked body of 44-year-old Somwang Ngamying was found under a pickup
truck at the Chok Chai Garden Home development Saturday. With a 20cm knife
protruding from her neck, Somwang was pronounced dead at the scene.
Husband Niwat, 47, and daughter Nayana, 22, along with
shocked neighbors grieved over the death of the well-liked laundry owner and
said they were baffled why anyone would kill her.
Nayana said her mother had gone outside around 5 a.m.
with a cup of coffee to take a walk. When she didn’t return, Nayana said she
got worried. The daughter said she was always friendly with customers of
their two laundry shops and that her mother never went out wearing expensive
jewelry.
Police are not linking the missing Itthiphol with her
death, but said they simply want to talk with him. Investigators speculated
Somwang might also have seen burglars who wanted to cover their tracks.
