Man arrested for stabbing teenage girl to death in Nonthaburi

Police said Thirapong Aditsorn, 29, was arrested at the Plum Condominium on the opposite side from the Bang Yai Condo where Praphaporn Worawong, 19, was found dead on Monday morning.
The arrest was made after officers from Bang Bua Thong Police Station checked CCTV footage from the area.
Police said they did not know whether the killing was motivated by jealousy or robbery as the perpetrators had taken the victim’s mobile phone, while the teenager’s friends said they did not know of a boyfriend.
Praphaporn, who worked at a beauty clinic at Central West Gate in Bang Yai, had lived alone for a year.
Her work colleagues, who rented rooms at the same condominium, normally travelled to work with her and they were concerned when they did not see her waiting in front of her room at 9am as usual.
When they knocked on the door and no one answered, they used a spare key Praphaporn had given one of her friends to open the room and found the body.
Police said the room had been ransacked.
Pol Lt-Colonel Rungrawee Sukhang, deputy commander of Bang Bua Thong police station, held a meeting of investigators on Tuesday morning and told investigators to check CCTV footage around the condo, which led to Thirapong’s arrest later in the day.
