It is believed that Saraboon had been at football training that night, before returning home. His close neighbour, Surawat Sukpanya, said that his friend loved sports and would usually play football with a local team every evening. Sukpanya, 36, realised that something must be wrong when Saraboon didn't respond to any of his texts. As per the media reports, he and another neighbour broke into Saraboon's house and made the suspicious discovery.
