Police are looking to arrest three Chinese nationals following the death of a Kyrgyz woman in Pattaya on Friday.

The three were wanted for alleged human trafficking and other related charges.

An investigation began after the Kyrgyz woman, Anara Seitaleva, 30, fell to her death from the seventh floor of a condominium building. She was initially believed to have committed suicide.

Three days previously, on Sept 13, Seitaleva had filed a complaint with Pattaya police, saying she had been contacted and offered a job in Pattaya by a Chinese couple she met through a Kyrgyz friend. She was promised 20,000 baht a month for a job related to tourism.

She arrived in Thailand on July 15 and was met at Suvarnabhumi airport by a Chinese man. After staying overnight in Bangkok, the man took her to Chiang Rai in the North. From Chiang Rai, she was taken to Laos.
