Fugitive murder suspect nabbed after 15 years hiding as grilled meatball vendor in northeast Thailand

[webfact]

 

A fugitive murder suspect, who had been on the run for 15 years, was arrested in Surin province for a murder case dating back to 2008.

 

The suspect Preecha, who had been operating a grilled meatball stall while in hiding, was apprehended at his residence in Sri Khoraphum district, Surin, on orders from the Provincial Police Region 5.

 

The case that put Preecha on the police radar happened on October 21, 2008, when a woman working at a karaoke bar in Chiang Mai was murdered. The victim’s body was found three days later, dumped in a urea bag on the roadside near an entrance to a mill on a hill in Ban Pong, Hang Dong district, Chiang Mai.

 

Investigations led police to the 45 year old Preecha and two other men, who had allegedly invited the victim for a drink after work. An altercation ensued which resulted in the woman’s death.

So they have managed to capture one murder suspect.

How many more of these fugitives are hiding behind the guise of grilled meatball vendors.

They should round them up and question all grilled meatball vendors now, before this becomes an endemic.

Most here know what fertilizer is by some of the comments we see.

Time to turn the table on him and grill his (meat) balls at long last.

Not so much. More like 46-0-0 or if you want to go natural some buffalo pellets.

They jailed a murderer the other day after 17 years but let him almost go free a couple of hours later.

Gotta love this wacky joint.

I know what fertilizer is and know that urea is a component of fertilizer, but this is the first time I can recall reading (or hearing of) the term, "urea bag".

Off topic a bit ...

I used to live near a fertilizer plant.  Tank trucks would pick up loads of different kinds of fertilizer, park across the street from the plant next to a rail yard, and piles of it would leak out of the truck onto the ground while the driver was checking out of the plant after weighing at the scales.   

I asked the guy at the scales about it and was told, if use the multi colored fertilizer for roses, use the (forgot what) for vegetables, and use the white granules on your grass to make it turn a rich green color. 

I collected the white granules in a 5 gallon bucket and spread it on the yard.   In less than a week, I could cut the grass in the afternoon before going to swing shift, and it would have grown an inch or more about 10 hours later.   I had to cut it every day!   But I had the best looking grass of any house on the block.  Neighbors were asking me how I made my grass look so good.  

I only put it on the yard one time.   I didn't like having to mow the yard every day!
