POLICE are coordinating with the Interpol in looking for a Moroccan man suspected of fleeing the country after killing his boyfriend who operated a famous aesthetic clinic in Chiang Mai province.
The murder was reported on Friday by a maid who works at Dr Sammy Clinic in Mae Hia subdistrict, Muang district. The witness found the body of Thitikan Dulikanont, also known as Dr Sammy, lying on the third floor of the clinic with neck bruises.
Police found an elastic rope in the room and speculated that it could be the murder weapon.
Investigation revealed that Thitikan, who was a transgender, entered the clinic with his boyfriend Bilal Chefinu, a Moroccan national on the night of Dec 4.
Chefinu was seen leaving the clinic at 2am on Dec 5 in Thitikan’s car. He left the car in Moon Muang Road in Si Phum subdistrict, before catching a tuk tuk to Chiang Mai International Airport.
Officials said the suspect boarded AirAsia Flight FD515 at 6am on Dec 5 to Hong Kong.
The Chiang Mai provincial court on Friday issued an arrest warrant for Chefinu for first-degree murder, police said, adding that they had contacted Interpol to issue a red notice for the suspect. — The Nation/ANN
