Thai woman, French boyfriend blame each other for Italian’s murder

Rujira Eiumlamai, 38, right is seen after being apprehended at a longan plantation in Tak province yesterday, while her French boyfriend, Rigaux Amaury, 34, left was arrested at a forest area five kilometres away on Sunday night.

 

A THAI woman and her French boyfriend have turned on each other after their arrests, with each blaming the other for the murder of the woman’s Italian ex-husband.

 

Rujira Eiumlamai, 38, told police after her arrest yesterday that she was innocent of the murder, saying it had been perpetrated by her French boyfriend, Rigaux Amaury, 34, with whom she fled after the victim’s body was found on January 19. 

 

 

 

Phichit’s Bung Narang superintendent Pol Colonel Chaisathien Maneejak said Rujira also admitted witnessing the killing, but claimed to have only assisted Amaury in burning her ex-husband’s body to conceal the crime. 

 

 

Rujira’s testimony contradicted that of Amaury, who police said had told officers during hours of questioning that he had not been involved in the murder. He allegedly said Rujira and her Thai ex-boyfriend had killed de Stefani and he had simply helped her escape.

 

Police quoted the woman as saying the motive for the killing stemmed from a love triangle. 

 

Rujira said her Italian ex-husband Giuseppe de Stefani, 61, had previously offer Amaury Bt100,000 to stop contacting her but Amaury had refused to comply. 

 

She claimed that she and the two men drove to a wooded area in Phichit to resolve the dispute but the situation escalated, resulting in Amaury killing de Stefani. Both Rujira and Amaury then tried to conceal the crime by dismembering and burning the body, which was later found in the same area.

 

 

Chaisathien said police suspected a knife which had already been submitted for forensic tests had been used as the murder weapon.

 

The apparently exhausted Rujira was apprehended after she was found hiding in a longan tree at a plantation in Tambon Chiang Thong of Tak’s Wang Chao district yesterday morning. Amaury had already been captured on Sunday night in a wooded area five kilometres away from the plantation.

 

The arrest came after residents in Wang Chao told police they had spotted Rujira and Amaury living in the forest. 

 

Amaury reportedly had served as a sniper in the French army for five years and is skilled in wilderness survival.

 

The two suspects were later yesterday sent to Phichit police to face charges. 

 

 

The Phichit Court had issued arrest warrants for Rujira and Amaury for allegedly murdering and burning the body of de Stefani in Bung Narang district. 

 

The remains of the burned body were found in a wooded area near Bung Thab Chan pond in Tambon Laemran on January 19. 

 

After de Stefani’s tattoo was recognised on the leg of the corpse, police searched Rujira’s home on January 21, prompting her to flee with Amaury.

I actually believe her version, how sick it might be.
Why would she lie about something that she admitt being a big part of. Doesn´t make sense.
She will get a lot of years for burning and dismembering.

On the other hand is totally wierd that the dead Stefani could be so stupid so he offer somebody 100K to stop seeing his ex-wife?
That man most definitely never seen how many choices that were in front of him. 

BTW! Wouldn´t pay 5 baht for that one. Would ask for payment instead.

"Chaps - our squabbling seems to be bothering the neighbours. How about we continue our conversation in a quiet secluded wooded area? Don't worry I'll drive, as your leg seems to have fallen off!"

He took a life and threw away his own for an ugly skank whore.

The frenchman claimed the same thing, helped dispose but didn t murder. Both can't be telling the truth

That is what the accused murderer said, it is not proven , but I'm glad you find "dead stefani" alleged actions so funny

 

"BTW! Wouldn´t pay 5 baht for that one. Would ask for payment instead."

I am sorry to read that you are short of cash and are attempting to enter the oldest profession.  Will you be standing with the Ugandans or are you a Coconut Bar kind of guy?

 

 

 

 

So, when are they going to interrogate the Thai ex-boyfriend?

A THAI woman and her French boyfriend have turned on each other after their arrests, with each blaming the other for the murder of the woman’s Italian ex-husband.

 

 

we never saw that coming 

 

 

so the finger pointing starts...I just hope the Thai court... holds them both responsible..as well as the Thai husband if he's involved too and throws away the key on all of them!...Nothing less , no wai's and apologies...just throw the damn key away and let them all rot the rest of their lives

The frenchman claimed helped escape.

Where did I say dead Stefani actions were funny? I said wierd.

Never stated that I was out of cash, and would enter any kind of profession. I am glad that you are so well aware of it and how old it is, anyway.

See, wrong in all 3 instances. Maybe you should try reading comments better, before you really comment them. Just a friendly advice.

oldest profession is a euphemism for prostitution, what you were suggesting when you stated you would ask her for money.   I think you would do better at the Coconut Bar personally

 

 

Whoever is the last one pointing a finger gets off with a wrist slap....lol...???

 

As he was captured so quickly he couldn’t have been trained by the French army very well for his so called wilderness survival skills.

It sounds that all of them were involved and intently murdered the Italian (ex) Husband whom I thought was her husband as reported and the Thai is the Ex while Froggy is the new F*****?shoot all and save the trial cost?

Thais are pretty handy at chopping up people, i think there might be a third person involved in this one, the ex maybe ??

Yea,I'm just getting my head around all these relationships,but I got to say this case has been the source of amusement for more than one morning and lets face it,there's nothing like a good laugh to start the day.Thank you TV 

Love triangle? Love square! I love the part of the French ex sniper being "skilled in wilderness survival", apparently not at all skilled at avoiding detection.

One of the two men probably had no choice

Look like a couple of  druggies to me. More likely for me, she lured him there to get 100k and he killed him.

I cannot see that she would want him killed. He was the gold mine and had been for quite a while.

I can't wait to hear what the third party has to say

No further mentioning of the alleged 3rd person? 

Since neither one will fess up, perhaps they could split the sentence?  Put one to death, and the other in prison for life.  

Remember folks much of this is just "here say".

Why would ANYONE lie by saying they didn't actually commit a murder, but were just there.. and 'this bloke did it, not me and my #3 (Thai ) guy', yeah??? <deleted>... get real, Sherlock!!! Personally I wouldn't believe ANYONE clearly involved in a murder, as getting out of the charge is all they've got left.. If the French chap is telling the truth, about it being her and her Thai guy, then he's clearly a <deleted> idiot anyway, as why the hell would you allow yourself to become part of something so bad as this when the original crime wasn't actually anything to do with your own actions??? Murder, followed quickly [on capture] by denials, lies and dodgy accusations.. what a surprise!!.. hope they all rot in jail!!!

Someone say he'd been trained? Naaah!! More likely he'd be a You-tube Legionnaire than Bear Gryls French counterpart I'd reckon!!!
