The images from the crime scene reveal the trail of destruction as Manthana “Nancy” Khantharat was assaulted across both floors of her home.
A woman “might have briefly thought she was safe” as she hid in a bathroom from her jealous boyfriend before he tore holes through the door and brutally murdered her, motivated by an “ill-founded belief” that by serving customers in a restaurant she was being unfaithful, a judge has said.
The agreed facts state the pin on the door handle was left in a locked position and there was “significant damage to the door, showing evidence of multiple impacts from the exterior”. He was jailed by Adams on Wednesday for a maximum of 23 years and four months, with a non-parole period of 16 years and four months.Khantharat moved to Australia in 2019 and completed a certificate in childcare. She met Tammajanta, a chef, when she started working at a Thai restaurant in Sydney’s west in 2022.
Adams said the dominant feature of the relatively short relationship was Tammajanta’s “irrational jealousy” and a desire to control his partner, and he had been motivated by “an ill-founded belief that by serving customers in the restaurant she was somehow being unfaithful to the offender”.During the fatal assault, Khantharat also suffered fractures to her ribs and both forearms and injuries to her neck after she was grabbed by the throat.
