webfact Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 A 23-year-old murder suspect, his mom, and girlfriend are being detained by Nongprue police after they colluded to murder a Pattaya-based Bolt driver and burn his body this past weekend. 23-year-old Mr. Thiraporn Somkham, his 51-year-old mother, Mrs. Elijah (family name withheld), and his 16-year-old girlfriend (name withheld) are currently detained at the Nongprue Police Station as of January 16th, 2024. The three were apprehended on Monday in connection with a recent fatal stabbing and the subsequent burning of the body of a ride-sharing Bolt driver, Mr. Thanathip Watthaisong. The 31-year-old Thai driver had an argument with Mr. Thiraporn after he refused to pay the ride fare, leading to Mr. Thiraporn fatally stabbing Mr. Thanathip in the chest. Mr. Thiraporn’s mother became involved in this gruesome crime after her son confessed to the police that he called her after stabbing the victim asking for advice, and then decided to burn the body, allegedly following his mother’s instructions. His girlfriend, a minor, also helped the suspect get rid of the body, as stated by Nongprue police, although it was unclear what her exact role was. According to The Pattaya News reporters, the three suspects appeared visibly stressed during the fingerprint identification process and questioning at the police station around 9:30 AM on January 16th. They also refused to answer reporters’ inquiries.

Life for the murderer, 15 years for the mother and let the girl off with a suspended sentence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scouse123 Posted January 17 Popular Post Share Posted January 17 (edited) So a sad end to a 31-year-old man with a young child, who was working, going about his life and doing his job. He was providing for his family only to have that taken away from him by a 23-year-old idiot who booked a taxi knowing he didn't have the money to pay for it. A show of bravado in front of his 16-year-old girlfriend?? To then try to use the depression excuse doesn't cut it in any way. The mother then, in her great wisdom, decides to desecrate a corpse, by setting the body on fire and stealing his car. I don't suppose calling the police was a factor in this reasoning? What a great parent. RIP to the poor victim, who set off home that day just to earn a few baht and didn't know it would be his last day on earth.

Skipalongcassidy Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The mother raised him and instilled the values that he had... I see it here where I live in the three mothers in the neighborhood raising their boys today to be the very same such murderers in future years... it truly is a cultural lack in the ill equipped mothers that have no concept of raising proper children... even though it is happening all over the world... I believe that in the Thai culture it is predominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) He killed a guy over a Bolt taxi fare? probably about 100 baht. Unbelievable. Edited January 18 by Henryford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons are treated like princes and daughters pull the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
