Mae Fah Luang police in Chiang Rai in northern Thailand have announced the arrest of a 24 year old man in connection with the death of 42 year old Sitthichoke, a building contractor.

 

The contractor was found encased in concrete in the foundations of a house in the Taling Chan area of western Bangkok on Saturday after being reported missing two days earlier by relatives in Krabi.

 

Jawa was the man responsible. He was found wandering in the hills in the Doi Tung area, his homeland. 

 

He admitted to the crime then with others at the scene concealing the corpse under the house in concrete.

 

He said that he was owed money for work done as a mixer of concrete. He attacked Sitthichoke after a drinking session with an Itoh knife to the head and blows with a hammer and a hoe. 

 

The victim was then buried alive, reported Sanook. 

 

The murderer will be taken back into the custody of the Bang Sao Thong police in the Thai capital after initial interrogation is complete.

He Doesn't look like a hardened criminal..

Wow That's quick--nearly 50 years since "Sources" ---- state that Jimmy Hoffa  got the same going away service, and they haven't managed to even find what building yet... ...

We had a guy disappear on the Scammonden dam site  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scammonden_Bridge many years ago, He was member of a concreting gang and was last seen just before the pour. Everybody on site was sure that he is now part of one of the bridges over the M62, not sure if the inquest came to any conclusion.

Eeewwww!!!!  As Rick James once sang, "cold blooded"!!!

 

Feel sorry for the poor homeowners of the property. Thais tend to be crazy wary/suspicious about places where people have died/been killed.  This is really gonna spoil their housewarming party....
