According to a police probe, Mr Anisorn broke into the house shortly before Nong Nada came back from school.
Once the suspect saw the girl entering the house, it was highly likely he attacked her and pushed her head underwater in a
tub, Pol Col Samran said.
Her uncle, Suret Kul-lang, 20, later encountered the burglar suspect when he arrived back home shortly after.
Mr Suret managed to subdue Mr Anisorn and called out for people nearby to help apprehend him.
Mr Anisorn will face charges of murder and theft,
