The Bangkok police are on the hunt for a 32-year-old Singaporean man after a Thai woman believed to be his girlfriend was found dead in a downtown condominium on March 26, local media reported.
Officers from Bangkok's Thonglor Police Station received a report of the body found in a 50-storey building in the capital's Watthana district at 6.20pm on the same day, reported Thai news outlet Khaosod English.
When they arrived at the unit, the door was not locked, and the 30-year-old woman from north-eastern Thailand was found naked in the toilet, her body wrapped in a blanket and a bedsheet. She had visible wounds and blood on her head, reported Khaosod.
Two friends of the victim had earlier reported to the local police that they had been unable to contact her since March 24 evening. One of them discovered the body, and the other filed the report on March 26.
According to The Nation newspaper, investigators also found that the deceased's luxury watches and handbags were missing.
The friends said the victim had been dating a Singaporean man. Though the couple appeared happy in social media posts, the victim had complained of frequent arguments and abuse by her boyfriend, said her friends.
CCTV footage from the building showed the victim and a man leaving the unit at 6.42pm on March 23. He sent the victim back to the unit at 9.17pm and left alone.
At 12.12am on March 24, the man returned to the unit and finally left alone on March 25 at 3.15pm in a black car, carrying a suitcase. Police found that the vehicle was registered under a person who had been pronounced dead, The Nation said.
Thonglor Police Station officers are still tracking down the suspect, Khaosod reported.
