Suspect Re-enacts Fatal Shooting of Girlfriend in Chumphon
Police in Chumphon have conducted a crime scene re-enactment involving a 33-year-old man accused of fatally shooting his girlfriend.
On November 11, 2026, authorities in Chumphon province escorted 33-year-old Dechapol, known as 'Ko Tha Sae,' to a rental property in Wang Phai sub-district to perform a crime scene re-enactment. According to Khaosod Online, the suspect is accused of shooting his 31-year-old girlfriend, Ms. Kanlayanee, resulting in her death. During the investigation, the suspect confessed to the act, citing jealousy as the motive. He claimed that a struggle occurred, causing the firearm to discharge accidentally.

Police have since filed serious charges against him. For residents and visitors, this incident highlights a localized criminal case involving domestic violence. While the suspect has provided a statement, the official legal proceedings are ongoing.
