Rayong tycoon’s daughter escapes death after being dumped unconscious into a reservoir

The daughter of a real estate tycoon in Rayong province was found beaten up and unconscious beside a reservoir in Pluak Daeng district today (Wednesday).

The victim, 56-year old Ms Renoo Tankanchananurak, is the daughter of Mr Surachai, a real estate tycoon who owns a finance company, a hotel and several real estate projects in the province. She is also an associate judge of the juvenile court.

She was found lying unconscious beside Dok Krai reservoir by villagers who rushed her to the provincial hospital and then alerted the police.

After recovering her consciousness, Ms Renoo told the police that she was abducted by Mr Dum, one of her employees and two other men, who forced her into a car and beaten up until she felt unconscious.

She said she regained consciousness as she found herself in the reservoir and managed to swim ashore. She added that it was dark at the time and she tried desperately to get help until she fainted due to fatigue.

Ms Renoo told police she found out that Dum falsified the company’s land title deed of an eight rai land plot worth about 200 million bahtwith an intention to sell it to some buyers and she was about to lodge a complaint to the police. However, Dum knew about it and tried to kill her, she said.

Police said they could not locate Dum at the company and would ask the court to issue a warrant for his arrest.
