Intern nurse arrested for shooting ‘abusive’ boyfriend dead

An intern assistant nurse was arrested Tuesday night shortly after she allegedly shot dead her boyfriend in his car in Bangkok's Bang Na district.

Police said the 22-year-old suspect admitted shooting Anuwat Noowan, 28, to escape an alledged “sex-slave" relationship which she could no longer put up with.

Police were alerted at 9pm to the shooting incident on Soi Bang Na-Trat 4.

When police and rescuers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation arrived at the scene, they found Anuwat's body in his seat, slumped across the seat beside him.

Kittipong Saengchai, 44, the witness who called police, said he was driving home on the soi when Anuwat's car skidded and collided with his own.

He said he then saw the suspect open the driver's door and run to him shouting “the man in the car has gun".

Kittipong let her sit in his car while he checked the other car and discovered Anuwat's body, before calling the police.

When they arrived, the suspect reportedly confessed to shooting Anuwat with his own gun.

She claimed that he had often beaten her to force her to have sex. After he attacked her again on Tuesday night, punching her in the eye, she said she remembered Anuwat kept a gun on the back seat, so she grabbed it and shot him in the back of the head.
