The house is currently being investigated by police and forensic teams and access was limited at the time of writing. Neighbours reported an argument in the early evening and his body was discovered by a maid at approximately 08.20 this morning, the motive is still unclear.

The Thai press have been all over this as usual, their story collates with what we have found out:

Very sad. Hua Hin seems to be turning into Pattaya more and more everyday.

Re: Expat newspaper editor murdered in Hua Hin
Very sad, though I didn't know him, he lived in, or just off of our road, which has always been relatively peaceful up to now.
Condolences to his family.
