Cap: Going cheap..second hand

 

The gruesome strangulation murder of a female taxi driver in Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi has had widespread consequences and continues to be investigated, reported Daily News.

 

A taxi driver called Ketyukhon, 50, was allegedly lured to a housing estate after Wiranathaphoom, 21, persuaded his girlfriend "Min" to order the cab for a lady.

 

The young man strangled the taxi lady to death then stole her Toyota Wish.

 

He sold this for 40,000 baht utilizing three agents who got 15,000 baht of the money.

 

The agents are under investigation.

He said he gave it all to his girlfriend to spend on trips out.

 

He got 3,500 baht from the sale of the victim's phone and spent that on yaba.

 

Min denied involvement in the plot. Police don't believe her and have charged her with receiving stolen goods. 

 

Som, was the lady who bought the Wish for 40,000 baht after being persuaded by a man called "Phu" and Wiranathaphoom who identified himself as the owner that the car had become available after being pawned.

 

They met at a PTT gas station in Ekachai, western Bangkok, where the deal was done.

She wondered about those two men but bought the car all the same as she needed something cheap.

 

After only using it a short time she found herself arrested and the car towed away in evidence.

 

She said that should be a lesson to others.

 

Even a relatively old Toyota Wish would likely go for 200,000 to 300,000 baht, notes ASEAN NOW, a newer model considerably more.
