Samrong Nuea Police Station officers arrested a former soldier at a condominium in Samut Prakarn province near Bangkok yesterday after the alleged brutal murder of a neighbour. He bludgeoned her to death with a hammer.

 

The murder took place at a condominium in Soi Sri Boonrueng in Samut Prakarn province, and the gruesome act was captured on the condo’s security camera. The murderer, 23 year old Khajorndate Jampathong, was seen repeatedly hitting the victim, 59 year old Jittra Chantarunai, on her head with a hammer.

 

In the shocking footage, Khajorndate was then seen dragging Jittra’s lifeless body to the car park. Witnesses at the scene were horrified and tried to plead with him to stop the brutal assault, but they were too afraid to approach him while he still clutched the murder weapon. Immediately, they alerted the police about the heinous incident.

Reporters from Channel 3 quickly arrived at the crime scene and found Khajorndate still present when the authorities arrived. With his shirt off, his body was covered in bloodstains, and he seemed completely indifferent to the gravity of his actions.

Another "Jai Yen" Thai man with a deeply philosophical Buddhist attitude to life.

These are NOT men! They are spineless fragile wimps! Buddhism at best is a selective Thai interpretation!

Again, emotional intelligence problems. So many murders are committed in a state of uncontrollable rage

Buddhism in Thailand is an avenue used to make merit and atone for your sins.

Not as a way to practice a spiritual lifestyle.

Given that Thailand has conscription, a very high proportion of younger Thai men are " former soldiers".

Well at least he will not be on the streets should the military be called to "control" any street protests!
