Thai Actor, Toytoy Thanaphat, in Police Custody for Stabbing Girlfriend to Death

Around 1:30 am on August 6, the Khan Na Yao police station in Bangkok received a call about a stabbing death incident at a nearby residence. When the police arrived, they discovered the deceased was a 25 year old woman named Pim Chatsaran. They found her body lying beside the bed in the bedroom. There were over 20 stab wounds to her chest. The suspect is said to be her boyfriend, 21 year old Thai actor, Toytoy Thanaphat, who played “Zen” in the BL series, “Why R U?”. The police found a 5 inch fruit knife dripping with blood at the scene of the crime.

Toytoy Thanaphat was said to look panicky and explained to the police that he and his girlfriend were drinking beer downstairs. Around 10 pm, they both went back to their bedroom. Because of ToytoyThanaphat’s work in the entertainment industry, he and his girlfriend had an argument. She told him to pack his things and leave. ToytoyThanaphat said he started to pack up his things, but Pim Chatsaran wouldn’t forgive him. She rushed into the kitchen and took a knife. ToytoyThanaphat said in order to avoid getting injured, he tried to grab the knife. During their struggle fighting for the knife, he claimed to have accidentally stabbed her multiple times in the chest, which led to her death.

According to Thai reports, the police aren’t believing ToytoyThanaphat’s story about the cause of his girlfriend’s death and says his unilateral testimony is not enough to serve as evidence. The police took ToytoyThanaphat into custody for further questioning and investigation. Pim Chatsaran’s body will also be autopsied.

  1. The number of stabs is proof this crime wasn’t an accident. His victim died. She won’t be getting a second chance at life. This criminal shouldn’t be given a second chance either. Lock him up forever!
