In a shocking turn of events, a renowned DJ was found dead, victim of a heinous crime committed over a mere 3,000 baht.

 

The victim, Juthathip, aged 68, was discovered with her hands, feet, and mouth bound, left to suffer a slow death in a dense forest beside a highway in the Phichit province, reported Sanook.

 

The prime suspect, 36-year-old Pairote, an ex-delivery rider and a tenant of Juthathip's rental properties, was arrested in a hotel. Pairote confessed to plotting to steal 3,000 baht from Juthathip.

 

During the act, Juthathip caught him, leading to her brutal restraint. She was then placed in the backseat of her white Nissan car and abandoned in the said location. The vehicle was later pawned by Pairote for 15,000 baht.

 

Juthathip was a beloved figure in Northern Thailand, known for her melodious voice and accurate Thai pronunciation. She had a vast audience and ran her own community radio station, winning numerous awards and amassing a large following for her broadcasts.

Police arrested a Thai food delivery rider on Saturday, October 28, for the murder of a female disc jockey (DJ) and the subsequent abandonment of her body in the woods within the Phichit province of Isaan.

 

On October 22, 68 year old DJ named Jutathip “Ju” Daanwannakit disappeared from her house. Her family filed a missing person report with the officers at Wachira Baramee Police Station on October 24. Her husband reported to the police that Ju left the house on her white Nissan March at about 7.30am and lost contact with him.

 

Police discovered Ju’s dead body on the day in the forest along Highway Number 117 in the Sam Ngam district of Phichit. The murderer tied her arms and legs with tape and covered her mouth with cloth. An autopsy is underway to determine traces of physical assaults.

Officers investigated the case and questioned Ju’s neighbours. One witness revealed that he saw a man break into Ju’s house on the day she disappeared. Officers checked the security cameras in the area until they managed to identify the man as a food delivery rider, 36 year old Pairoj Ratchakit.

3,000 b what a Waste 

[Bangkok Barry]

Been plenty of tales on this site of people being killed even for 100 baht. Or for slamming a door. Or for turning off the wi-fi. Or for having a new partner. Or for looking at someone the wrong way. Or for stepping on someone's foot. Life means very little here.

His life will hopefully be worse than death once he gets put away for 20+ years.
