Melissa Buranasombati faces one count of murder with an allegation that a knife was used as a deadly and dangerous weapon, according to Ricardo Santiago of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
The victim, 31-year-old Edward Cole, was stabbed around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 9, in the 41700 block of 156th Street East in Lake Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Lancaster Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call and found Cole suffering from apparent stab wounds. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead, sheriff’s officials said.
Buranasombati was detained at the scene and then booked April 10 on suspicion of murder. She was formally charged with murder on April 12, but her arraignment was postponed until April 25, according to the District Attorney’s Office. She remains jailed in lieu of 2,075,000 bail, according to LASD inmate records.
Investigators have not released a motive for the killing. However, friends said Buranasombati and Cole were in a romantic relationship.
Inmate records show Buranasombati has a history of domestic violence arrests. She was previously arrested Aug. 12, 2018, on suspicion of battery on spouse/cohabitant — a misdemeanor. She was released two days later on Aug. 14, 2018, due to insufficient evidence (49B1), according to inmate records. Buranasombati was again arrested on Feb. 12, 2019, this time on suspicion of inflicting corporal injury on spouse/cohabitant — another misdemeanor. She was released a week later with probation, according to LASD inmate records.

Bruce Springsteen says
She convinced me to spend the night with her but something felt very wrong so I left.
Fuck you says
I’ve known that crazy [removed] since I was a kid went to middle school and high school with her.i know her parents and they’re all pieces of [removed]
Lock her up! says
She is most likely mad at the world, because of her ugly appearance. Weird looking people are often a maniacs and such.
Dee says
God Bless you Robb Wood, I’m praying for your lost soul…

Men have to be really careful today.
Jodee F says
LVE you Eddie i cant believe this happened to you. My condolences to his family, my heart goes out to you all.
Mike says
I wonder if I can apply for a conjugal visit with her? I’d bone some sense into her.
POWERS says
Our condolences to the family…his father is a friend of ours and EDWARD was a good guy that didn’t deserve to be stabbed in the back as he was moving out and leaving her! She’s going to get hers in jail….believe that…..its easier to get someone whos locked up ….and his dad is no joke.
Your daddy says
[removed] my home boy did not deserve That. She deserves To rote in a [removed] prison cell forever!
Anon says
Don’t be fooled by all the makeup, colored contacts, and pink hair. She is the abuser. She’s crazier than anyone I’ve ever met. And even if she does only get 10 years… She will do something else stupid and end up adding more years to her sentence. She will fight anyone at the drop of a dime for any stupid reason. Her life is probably over. Locked up for life. Finally.
David says
She did not abuse anyone….she is just not allowing an abuser to get away with running rackets. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Half the jawbroni’s in this room are criminals…
David says
There is no crime here…Home Boy got what was coming to him.
Jodee says
You need to shut Your [removed] mouth the [removed] up [removed]
Detained says
Jealous rage.
Ron says
She’s going to get years in prison.
Jill says
burn in hell bitch!!! you are a special kind of piece of [removed], I hope you know that!!! how dare you kill my friend!! what the hell was so bad you had to do this to him !! he was a great guy I met you in my house and I right in your eyes and there was nothing in your soul You don’t even have a soul!! you should have stabbed yourself and took your life not his!! If you were that miserable, it’s just that simple. I hate you, Melissa, not that it matters to you. you are evil. Burn bitch burn!!
David says
He got what was coming to him…people make choices and there are consequences for those choices. You were not there…this guy doesn’t look like a Boy Scout. He chose her…probably abused her and got some instant karma. You are blinded by rage…I would give her a slap on the wrist and ask her not to do it again.
Be equal says
Lol the funny part about it is you’re right they’re probably going to give her a slap on the wrist because she’s white even after the two previous arrests nothing’s going to happen to her 10 years Max
Anon says
She’s not white she’s Thai wtf? And she’s gotten several slaps on the wrist in the past which obviously weren’t enough. In the last 8 months she’s progressed from battery to inflicting corporal injury to murder… And probably all against different guys. SHE is the common denominator here.
Be equal says
You’re absolutely right but in society’s eyes she’s white they’re going to see the poor innocent woman as a victim the max she’ll probably get is 10 years now if she was black she’ll get life if she was Latina she would get life but because she favors white people she’s not going to get life keep an eye on this case she’s going to get 10 years or less I bet
David says
She doesn’t look white to me but I know we all look the same to you…
Susan says
She needs locked up for life at the very least. You’re just a guy thinking with the wrong head because she has a pretty face. Nobody deserved to die.
David says
You obviously never watch the wise sage Judge Judy…if it wasn’t for his own actions….he would have not been in the position to get shanked. He played with fire and got burned. Win some and lose some…..consider it as the herd just got thinned out.
Michael Fitzgerald says
@David Says
You have actual proof that he was the abuser? If he was the abuser a good ass kicking is the answer not murder so then that means you are saying that Dustin Stanford of Murrieta, CA who was emotionally abusive to my good friend Amber Marie Frink she was stabbed 24 times 1 in her neck 4 in her back and 19 in her chest which not one of those 19 punctured her heart and he did tell her before if you ever try to leave me I’ll kill you so that is ok and you [removed] in order to get a congocasl visit with her you have to be MARRIED to her [removed] so now if I get angry at your response it’s ok for me to come by and PHYSICAL ABUSE OR MURDER YOU
David says
You are wrong..plenty of people deserve to die…Hitler…Rocket Man…Manson…lots of folks gone would make the world a better place.
Lock her up! says
“Pretty face” ?? ))) You gotta be kidding
Bill says
@ David
You say….”He got what was coming to him”, then you justify that with the statement, “He PROBABLY abused her”.
You’re an idiot…
David says
You are welcome to call names all you want…is that the best you can do? Life by the sword and die by the sword…..your guy Nipsey learned that last week. If you are a right proper gangsta this just goes with it.
Sticks and stones and another nattering nabob of negatism…wise up Cuzz
Tania says
Curry?
Your daddy says
You are a [removed]! You deserve to be in there with her!
Rocky Tuck says
Eddie was my Nephew and this is all so senseless. ANY life lost because someone else took it from them is so wrong. If you didn’t know Eddie personally, then please don’t judge him. Rest In Peace Eddie, love you always. Uncle Rock.
