Rabat — Thai police are asking Interpol to track down Moroccan Bilal Chefinu, who is on the run for allegedly killing his girlfriend and fleeing the country.
The victim is a transgender woman identified as Thitikarn Dulikanon. She was found dead in her bedroom last Friday with strangled marks on her neck, according to reports.
The suspected killer is her boyfriend, Bilal Chefinu, who Dulikanon lived with.
Dulikanon ran a beauty clinic, where surveillance shows the couple entering on December 4.
Chefinu was seen fleeing the scene alone in Dulikanon’s car before abandoning it near the airport. He reportedly took a plane to Hong Kong early Thursday.
Police suspect he killed her before he fled.
Dulikanon’s sister hadn’t heard from her for two days. At first, she thought that Dulikanon was travelling with Chefinu, but a housekeeper later found the body.
The investigation is still ongoing.
Meanwhile, Thailand is considered a haven for the LGBTQ+ community.
In 2015, Thailand banned gender discrimination. Still, transgender people can’t legally change their gender which makes getting jobs, education, or even medical care a real struggle.
Many LGBTQ+ people face discrimination. A UN study suggests that almost half of LGBTQ+ workers and students reported being treated unfairly.
At the same time, LGBTQ+ people are at high risk of violence. Physical attacks and sexual abuse are common but often go unreported.
The country made headlines in 2024 when it approved same-sex marriage. However, the law has not fully been implemented.
