Popular Post webfact Posted December 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2023 In Nonthaburi on December 15th, Ms Siriya, a borrower, owed money to Mr Sumet, a notorious loan shark. She pleads for a payment pause after just learning she has a cancerous cyst in her breast. Sumet’s unyielding response leads to an explosion of hate and frustration. His life ended in a violent confrontation with the woman’s husband. The murder of a loan collector in Nonthaburi over a week ago gives a chilling insight into the nightmare realm of informal debt in Thailand. It is also, from the point of view of Thai authorities, a red light as the man was mowed down by a powerful pickup truck. It was owned by a man whose wife was under the cosh of the reviled local moneylender. He was, however, the victim of a brutal murder being pursued by Nonthaburi police. Police quickly identified the perpetrator as the husband of a hard-pressed borrower. His wife asked for a pause in loan repayments. She had just discovered she had breast cancer. Thailand’s campaign to help hard-pressed borrowers is leading to heightened tension between borrowers and lenders. On the evening of December 15, 2023, a Friday, in Nonthaburi Province, the husband of a borrower took drastic and fatal action, in response to pressure to make repayments. At length, it resulted in the violent death of the creditor. by Carla Boonkong & Pranee O' Connor TOP: Photos from the scene of the fatal incident on December 15th.
