"That's not a Buddhist image - that's a dead body" - Tuk Tuk driver is not playing ball

Picture: Thai Rath

 

A very Thai murder story is playing out in central Bangkok. 

 

It features a relationship between a 70 year old man and a 37 year old woman.

 

A horrific hammer attack on the woman by the man.

 

And a bizarre attempt to carry the body away on a tuk-tuk disguised as a Buddihist image in a sheet.

 

Pathumwan police were called to rented flats on Rong Meuang Road.

 

Wrapped tight in a bedsheet was the naked body of 37 year old Ketsuda.

 

She had horrific wounds to the face cause by a blunt trauma attack, reported Thai Rath.

 

Nearby was the murder weapon, a bloodstained hammer.

 

Soon in custody was 70 year old Choey, a taxi driver.

 

Jaroon, 56, found the body and called 191.

 

Darunee, the mother of the deceased, said her daughter was of no fixed abode. 

 

On Saturday her daughter had come to see her with the old man with her. They had been an item for a while.

 

So much so that the old man had told the mum that he wanted to marry her daughter.

The mother even helped to get the pair back together gain after a break-up.

 

Choey admitted that he got angry and hammered his girlfriend to death.

 

Then he wrapped her tight in a bedsheet.

 

He told the tuk-tuk driver that he ordered to transport the body for hiding that it was a Buddhist image under the cloth.

 

Something the driver was not prepared to believe. 

 

The cops were informed instead.

 

The police suspect jealousy played a role in this murder.

At 70 they still haven't learnt a damned thing.

Meanwhile, a Farang fouind with a bag on his head and safe home is suicide.

Hey Thai male apologists! The above is not my words, but rather the very first sentence of this article. Wonder why it starts off in this way? HMMMM??? 

 

Because yet another senseless and sickening murder by yet another Thai male whom, regardless of age, so many are unable to deal with a little thing called LIFE. Can't handle hearing NO or accept rejection or whatever without killing the person who says something they don't like or agree with. 

 

Got angry and hammered her to death. SMFH. With the frequency this kinda thing happens here...surprised haven't shaken my head off long time ago!

He shouldn’t have the right to die in prison. He should be hanged.

A taxi driver tries to hire a tuk tuk driver to transport a dead body. You couldn't make it up. RIP to the poor victim; at least the perp was caught promptly.
