UPDATE

In an interview with CH3, a taxi driver revealed that the Polish man arrested under suspicion of murdering and attempting to dismember his Ukrainian girlfriend “Alona” in a Bangkok condo room yesterday asked him to help get rid of her body via Google Translate.

 

The taxi driver said that he picked up the suspect – Lagoda Filippow Jan Jerzy – on the roadside outside a condo and communicated with him via Google Translate. The Polish tourist told the taxi driver that he wanted to gamble at a casino. The pair drove around but couldn’t find one.

 

Then, the suspect allegedly asked the driver via the app, “Can you help me find a cleaner?” So the driver asked him, “What for?”

 

“I’m looking for a cleaning machine for a corpse,” said Lagoda. “I’m looking for liquid to clean a corpse,” he added. “Do you have a tool to cut up a body?” he allegedly asked the driver.

Confused, the taxi driver pulled over and sat down at a restaurant to speak to the suspect. The driver invited his friend Ek, a Tuk Tuk driver who speaks better English than him, to speak to the Polish man.

 

Lagoda confessed, “I stabbed my wife.” When the drivers asked him, “Why?” he responded…

“Do you have friends? Can you help me put the body parts in a bag?”

 

The taxi driver realised something was seriously wrong and dropped off the Polish man outside a hotel on Sathorn Road. Then, he turned back to the condo to tell the security guard, leading to the discovery of Alona’s body. In the interview, the taxi driver recalled a foul smell emanating from the Polish man.

 

The driver’s 47 year old friend Ek told reporters that at about 1pm, he was approached by his friend, the taxi driver.

 

Ek said that the taxi driver informed him the Polish man had shown him a message via Google Translate which said, “Can you help find something to get rid of the smell? Because I killed my girlfriend and I’m looking for someone to help me go up there and cut up her body.”

What a bizarre and outlandish story, I have rad many, many fiendish killing stories in my life but this one takes the cake.

[pacovl46]

That sounds very much like a made up story to sell to the tabloids. There's no way the guy could've been that stupid!

So some rando cabbie is supposed to be prepared to be willing and able to hook a Polish brother up with the complete post murder package. It's so outlandish that I tend to believe it.

[Chicksaw]

Kind of makes sense.

 

I just asked ChatGPT "I've murdered my wife and need to cut her up and dispose of the pieces. What do you suggest?" And ChatGPT came back instantly with "Are you Polish?"

 

AI.

Cabbie is a hero for circling back to condo and alerting security guard.

So the taxi driver, understandably, presumed that the outrageous questions were due to odd Eng-Thai translations by Google Translate. Only this time they weren't...

Read this yesterday in a Thai news source and couldn't believe it. Hesitated to post here.

A complete psycho. Breath stops when you think about it.

Mind-boggling and beyond bizarre, but then again, so are many of the Thai translations that Google Translate produces.

[steven100]

he should have had a better translation app ....  things always get lost in communication in Thailand

Been a bit more of a hero if he'd rang the cops and immediately reported it, the perb couldn't understand Thai, gone to the cop shop. just saying. 

[Cake Monster]

What a bizarre  story.

The story is so outlandish , it has to be true.

Nobody could make up a story such as this 

RIP the lady

What if was just mad rambling? Best to check if there was something behind it. He did the right thing. Check on the girlfriend immediately, rather than to wait for the police to arrive.

Breath is automatic. No think to worry.

[NativeBob]

to gamble at casino in Bangkok? Yes there are "underground playgrounds" but not for public access. seems that polish freak and thai taxi driver got alone just fine: frequent stops, restaurants, english speaking tuk-tuk pilot etc. The only thing went "wrong" was not the fact that he killed his companion, but "annoying persistence" to clean up be cause of the smell. Freaky!

[PETERTHEEATER]

Unbelievable. Next thing will be a story telling us that the taxi driver refused to use the meter.

[roo860]

I'm sure the taxi driver could have supplied him with a knife, most carry one.

Well, (spoiler alert) it’s Alfred Hitchcock’s movie “Rear Window,” but in that story Raymond Burr planned it carefully in advance and didn’t need help from cab drivers or anyone else.

What would you do? You lost your temper. Someone is dead. People do crazy things under stress. Maybe he figured 100,000 baht the guy would help him. 

 

Some thieves have walked into banks with work logos on shirts.

 

Average crim is dumb.
