"Brutal revenge killing of foreigner" as corpse is fished out of Mekong River

 

Picture: Sanook

 

Police suspect a brutal revenge style murder after finding a corpse weighed down by a concrete post in the Mekong River at Nakhon Phanom.

 

The dead man had white skin and is believed to be a foreigner, possible Vietnamese. 

 

Nakorn Panom police at the scene in Ban Samran Neua, Muang district, found the 30-40 year old victim in a sack that was comprised of three parts that had been joined by wire. The body had been in the water at least 48 hours. 

 

The face had been mercilessly attacked making it unrecognizable. The abdomen had been ripped out with what looked like an axe and the body - 170 cm in height - was tied with hemp rope and weighed down with a one meter piece of concrete post.

 

The hands were handcuffed at the front of the body. 

 

Pol Col Kiatphoom said that the vicious nature of the man's death indicated a revenge killing involving a possible double-cross. 

 

A full autopsy is being carried out in Khon Kaen as investigations into the identity of the victim continue.

Definitely pissed someone off pretty badly for them to go to such extremes. It will be interesting if they ever find the killer to find out what was actually behind it.

1.  Major drug deal that went bad.

2. "Love Triangle" and jealous rage.

Sherlock says probably drug dealing gone wrong.

Its amazing how the police can deduce so much so fast from what appears so little almost case closed????

[Nyezhov]

Handcuffs and face chopping = drugs. But hey, who knows.

I would go with drug deal,whoever did it seems to have taken some inspiration from the "Mexican way".

Quite possible but how about owing money to Chinese loan sharks in a Laos casino?

So Thai are dark skinned? Since the face was unrecognizable how would they guess he is forienger, by the size of his pecker?

Its highly unlikely that they measured his penis and compared that to Countries average penis size and then came to a conclusion about where he is from

Looks like somebody went to a lot of trouble to keep the body submerged and also impede identification if discovered (facial features destroyed). If it was revenge, you'd think it would be readily found to dissuade others.

[Foexie]

Since when do Vietnamese have a white skin?????

[dictater]

As always the TV detectives

have the case solved well ahead of those pathetic BOB's, good job boys now back to your Chang. 

[pegman]

If he was weighted down and sunk in the Mekong how was he found?
