Full Details of Horrific Murder of Pattaya Bolt Driver Released

[webfact]

The trio who were accused of murdering a Pattaya-based ride-sharing driver went through a crime reenactment on Tuesday, after confessing to the murder allegations.

 

On Tuesday, January 16th, 23-year-old Mr. Thiraporn Somkham, his 51-year-old mother, Mrs. Elijah Abdulahi, and his 16-year-old girlfriend (name withheld) were accompanied by Nongprue and Huay Yai police to carry out a crime reenactment related to the murder of a Bolt driver, Mr. Thanathip Watthaisong, 31, whose body was found burned in a forest in Chonburi province last Friday.

After confessing to the murder allegations, the trio were taken to three locations to proceed with the reenactment.

 

The first location was a local road beside the Chak Nok Reservoir, where Mr. Thiraporn confessed to stabbing the victim to death after arguing with him over a ride fare. Thiraporn admitted that he refused to pay the fare entirely because he was broke, leading to a verbal argument with Thanathip and then Thiraporn said he lost his temper, stabbing Thanathip to death. His girlfriend, a 16-year-old minor, was also present but only watched the incident.

 

Subsequently, Thiraporn and his girlfriend stole the victim’s car, and with the deceased’s body hidden in the back seat, they drove the vehicle to pick up Mrs. Elijah, his mother, who he had called for advice on the situation.

And there we go again. Sonny boy is born and treated like a little prince. Doesn't have to do anything, isn't corrected, and is the ultimate pride of mothers. Grows up without a backbone, tolerates no contradiction, and absolutely has no idea what responsibility is. In short, a hopeless good-for-nothing who will just go on stealing from others because he's not a real man who learns to work for his money. A waste of oxygen.

You take Bolt when you have no money, then kill the driver when he asks you to pay for it?

 

And this is app-called driver, so the company knows exactly who ordered it.

 

Indeed, they are a waste of oxygen, for as much as that 2 cells between the ears can use...

This isn't only a Thailand problem. 

This happens everywhere in the world....

Sounds like the mother ..or father is Arabic ??

 

I hope he goes to Bang Kwang got 25 years but.... unfortunately Thailand had become "woke" and his rich parents will help him 

 

Maybe 3 years jail , just like the 3 young Thai  guys who killed the Aussie farang...3 years jail

Another mummy's boy.  Totally agree with Peter above; most Thai males grow up arrogant, self-important, devoid of finer feelings and responsibility.  They are permitted/even encouraged to bully their sisters which colours their attitude towards women for the rest of their lives.  See how many walk away from their babies without a qualm or maintenance payment.

Why 25 years jail? He cold bloodedly stabbed the driver to death. He should die too!

So he had two options...
#1 lose a share of the fare and receive some money

#2 Stab the man to death and loose everything

Hmmmm
