Salee Uanmin, the girl’s 49-year-old grandmother, runs a food stall at the house, which she rented from Jitrlada’s mother.

A heart-broken Ms Salee told police she was filling an order for six boxes of food placed by Jitrlada. She had scooped steamed rice into the boxes when she saw her 5 year-old granddaughter, Tiprada Homsuwan, had fallen from her bed. That’s when she noticed her chest was bleeding.
