Bangkok experienced a tragic incident on September 19, when a 48-year-old woman named Yupin Chedchai jumped from the fourth floor of a residential building, taking her 3-year-old daughter, Phattharin Thinsung, with her. Both victims were found lying close together near the building, exhibiting signs of severe distress. The apartment complex, comprising five floors, is located in the Makkasan district of Ratchathewi.
The police and medical teams from Ramathibodi Hospital and the Ruam Katanyu Foundation were dispatched to the scene instantly.
Yupin, who was suffering from depression and had been experiencing fears that someone would harm her, was found wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and white-and-black patterned shorts. Her daughter, Phattharin, who was three years old at the time, lay face down, clad in a yellow short-sleeved top and shorts. A pink towel was discovered nearby.
Both victims were taken to Ramathibodi Hospital for urgent medical care. Subsequently, police officers discovered the apartment's door locked from inside; however, no signs of a struggle or disturbance were observed within.
Yupin had been living in the apartment alone with her two daughters for several years. She had separated from her husband and was not employed. Her living expenses, including the rent of over 3,000 baht per month, were managed by her younger brother and other relatives. Witnesses reported that Yupin had previously exhibited unusual behavior, including hallucinations, and had repeatedly expressed to her neighbors that someone was planning to harm her.
At this stage, the police had not yet conducted an interview with Yupin due to her ongoing medical treatment.
Based on witness statements, the initial police assumption was that her depression, combined with intense stress and fear of personal harm, could have prompted her to take her daughter and jump from the apartment. The investigation into this incident is still ongoing, and the police remain committed to uncovering the full story behind this heart-wrenching tragedy.
