A Thai woman is seeking protection after surviving an abduction and brutal assault by her ex-boyfriend, who is reportedly a high-ranking government official in the central province of Pathum Thani.
The assistant nurse, identified as 27 year old A, reached out to the non-profit organisation Saimai Survive and Channel 7, fearing that she would not receive protection or justice from officers at Khu Bang Luang Police Station. The officers initially dismissed her complaint, claiming that she would reconcile with her attacker afterwards.
A disclosed that the officers also urged her to file a complaint at other police stations, questioning why she reported the matter to them as the incidents took place in multiple areas. She stated that she spent several hours pleading with the police to accept her complaints, with the process concluding at 8pm on October 26.
A then revealed the full story to the public in an interview with the media and at a press conference with Saimai Survive. She explained that she was in a relationship with her ex-boyfriend for nearly five years but broke up with him due to his infidelity.
However, the man refused to let A go and continued harassing her for more than five years. She moved to a new house to escape him but it did not work as he managed to track her down.
The assistant nurse disclosed that the incident began on October 23 when she was working at a hospital in Pathum Thani. Her ex-boyfriend sent her a message saying he used a spare key to steal her car. He told her that if she wanted it back, she must reconcile with him.
He then sent her a picture of his gun and threatened to have her dismissed from her job if she did not comply with his demands. A said she decided to ask him to return her car to the hospital and he agreed.
Living in fear
According to A, the man spoke to her calmly and asked her to get into the car to discuss their relationship. He promised to end things peacefully if she went with him. The woman agreed but her ex-boyfriend did not keep his word.
The man handcuffed A and took her to his friend’s house, where both he and his friend brutally assaulted her. She overheard them discussing plans to abandon her lifeless body in a forest in the northern province of Phitsanulok.
The ex-boyfriend then took A back to the car to go to Phitsanulok. To save her life, she pretended to surrender. She promised to reconcile with him, which led him to remove the handcuffs.
They then stopped at a roadside hotel. A agreed to have sex with him and seized the opportunity to escape when he fell asleep. She took his mobile phone with her to prevent him from contacting his friend for assistance.
A revealed that her ex-boyfriend continued to live his life as normal after the incident while she lived in fear. He frequently posted pictures of his gun on social media and sent messages to her friends, inquiring about her whereabouts.
A pleaded with the police and relevant government officials to provide her with protection and deliver justice as soon as possible, as she is currently enduring a very difficult situation.
