A shocking scene unfolded when an elderly woman was found murdered in her garden by the riverside yesterday at approximately 1.30pm in Sila sub-district, Mueang Khon Kaen, Thailand. In a subsequent investigation led by the local police chief, Pra Kengsarikit, crucial evidence about the crime was discovered. With the main suspect on the run, the manhunt to nab him escalated quickly.

 

Police officers along with four medical examiners, including Niruth Khunkitti, visited the crime scene where the 79 year old woman, Pao, was found. Revealing the brutality of the act, the autopsy of the deceased showed multiple stab wounds. A long knife of about 20 centimetres, believed to be the murder weapon, was later uncovered from a dishwashing sink behind the house near the crime scene.

 

Near the crime scene, the police took evidence from a room filled with furniture and alcohol – six bottles of white spirits, a beer bottle, an energy drink, and a water jug. The spotlight soon turned to Pao’s grandson, who was missing from the scene soon after the crime was reported.

 

The detectives from the local police station followed up on a tip-off, which led them to a roadside cement slab on the outskirts of the city. They found their suspect, Surawit, a 28 year old man, who appeared inebriated and seemingly preparing to flee. Surawit was taken in for questioning but remained silent, revealing only that he lived a secluded life and his earnings were spent on maintaining his family, reported KhaoSod.

Not the first case I've read of someone being murdered over 100 baht and it won't be the last. Life is worthy absolutely nothing in Thailand - strange for what they claim is a Buddhist nation.
