The article suggests the obvious answer to your question: being an illegal worker supports the possibility of a motive (i.e. to prevent exposure) and possibility (due to location) + no pre-existing conflicts were identified.

Now it's up to the Thai equivalent of Agatha Christie to find out if indeed it was one or several of the workers, or somebody else with a yet to be discovered motive. My limited contribution is that it wasn't the butler.

It sounds like a tough nut to crack, and as long as no nuts are cracked in the process of trying to find out whodunit, kudos to the TRP if they do manage to figure out & prove who were responsible.

The owner of the two houses did it... he didn't want to lose his rent money

Here we go again, blame the poor Burmese, once convicted they will be offered to be spared of the death penalty if they confess!!! 

Ko Tao deja vu!!
