Chiang Mai woman faces probe for alleged murders in suspected insurance scam

By The Nation

 

 

A Chiang Mai woman was arrested on Saturday for allegedly hiring a hitman to murder her ex-husband and for alleged involvements in a few other deaths to appropriate their insurance compensation.

 

On October 5, Anan Thongmarn, 58, was slashed on the face and neck and killed. The investigation led to Pankaew KhanKaew, 48, an alleged hitman, and Bualoi Tala, 63, the victim's ex-wife.

 

Pankaew reportedly confessed that he had committed the murder and his phone records revealed that Bualoi had hired him, as she had personal conflicts with her ex-husband. She allegedly wanted to claim his life insurance worth hundreds of thousands of baht.

 

She denied ordered the killing, saying she only wanted him to be maimed and claimed the Bt40,000 she allegedly offered for the murder was only a joke.

 

Bualoi previously had reportedly received, after naming herself as nominee, insurance benefits from some other deaths. The victims reportedly were poisoned. Police are investigating six possible cases.

She seems so misunderstood with the maiming bless her???? 

[Jack Hna]

So this lady has had a number of Insurance payouts from a number of deaths and only now do they link her.  

 

Maybe a good time to start checking the payees against a national payout database of some sort.

6 possible murders , that would make her a ' serial killer ' . It will be difficult to prove that it was her herself who poisoned the victims ,  but , may be , she will confess ... RTP is quite good in making somebody confess the crimes they committed ...

She forgot to pay him to keep quiet. That would have been another 10,000 baht.

A little under the weather, Maybe you should have taken out an insurance on her.

One of the reasons why I'm very hesitant to buy a life insurance policy, even though my girlfriend sometimes asks me about this.

 

One might be worth more dead than alive. And also, even if a relationship is good now and it's all butterflies, people can change.

[ChipButty]

She should be worried about getting a good probing 

[holy cow cm]

This is not the typical standard insurance the news leads you to believe. It is a contribution fund set up in the village or bahn area between the local people.

Unbelievable.  I was always under the impression that these insurance companies would refuse payout if there was even a hint of malfeasance.  But they seem to pay without much fuss.  Sure does provide an incentive for this woman--and others--to murder for money.  No freakin way I would buy life insurance for myself.

The village funeral fund.  Generally used to give the departed a rip-roaring send off.  Thai villagers easily drop 100K to 200K on their own funeral which is staked by your family contributing ฿200 every time someone in the village dies.  But interesting though.  I can't buy into my village's fund.  Wonder how she managed to set it up for her 58 year old husband?  By the way, the village would be p*ssed if the money wasn't used properly and given the circumstance would raise suspicions. Wife's husband is murdered and the wife pockets the money?  It wouldn't pass the sniff-test.

I know of one who just collected from being a Mia Noy but it had to be kept quiet. Maybe some payoff as where there is a will there is a way. This fund is part of that funeral expense idea but these proceeds actually went to the one still living and as far as I understand. Could have been double dipping in 2 different home areas.

Very true in Thailand where a life can be bought for  5,000-40,000 baht.  How many go free.   But if married the state will continue to pay your young bride and payout more.
