His girlfriend Kanjana Julking, who is also twenty-seven, was waiting by the body and told investigators they had been out for the day and on returning home a man crept up behind them and brutally struck her boyfriend on the back of his head.
It was dark and so she did not see what the weapon was and could not provide any description of the attacker. However, a witness said that man was aged between twenty and twenty-five years old and had been sat outside the room drinking alcohol. He explained that he was waiting for his girlfriend as she had ’gone out.’
The attacker apparently fled the scene on a motorbike and the police sent a team to look for him as they did not feel he could have gone very far.
Mr Duansawang, who was the heir to a construction company fortune, was declared dead at the scene and his body was taken to the police hospital for autopsy and to await collection by his family.
