A 46 year old man was found dead in his home in Nong Bua Lamphu province, Thailand, after allegedly being killed by his 24 year old son. Locals witnessed the son, Amarin, confessing to the murder while covered in blood before being apprehended by police.

 

At the crime scene, a one-storey house with two bedrooms, the police found the body of Wisanukorn (last name withheld) with facial injuries and signs of blunt force trauma on his head. Amarin, his only son, was seen outside the house, shouting and confessing to have killed his father.

 

Amarin was known in the neighbourhood for his addiction to drugs and alcohol, and his impulsive nature, often causing issues with other youths in the area. Wisanukorn, his father, had been protecting and looking after him throughout his life. The father often resisted police intervention when his son was involved in violent incidents while intoxicated. “Anyone who reports my son to the police, I will kill him,” Wisanukorn had previously warned his neighbours.

 

Thaneewan Jantarueang, Assistant Village Head, recounted that Amarin had asked a neighbour to borrow his motorcycle to visit his grandmother after committing the crime, but the neighbour refused.

Well... the old man threatening to kill anyone touching his criminal son getting killed by his son who is then arrested, possibly getting death penalty would take 2 criminals off the streets. I would say this is good news.
