Thai employer arrested for alleged murder of maid missing for 5 years

Police have arrested a female employer for allegedly killing her 16-year-old housemaid.

The maid, Jariya Srisak, disappeared mysteriously more than five years ago with police recently discovering her skeleton.

Her employer, 46-year-old Krisana “Mona” Suwanpitak, a former beauty contestant, is now the prime suspect.

Police brought Krisana to the Criminal Court on Monday to request her detention, with plans to request that bail be denied. According to a police source, Krisana has already confessed to killing Jariya.
