Featured Replies

A SWISS man who is the second husband of a Thai woman who inherited 13 million baht from her first Swiss husband upon his death in 2021 and has been missing since Jan. 8 has now confessed to having killed her, Amarin TV said this afternoon (Jan. 29).

 

Police at Chaliang subdistrict, Khon Buri district, Nakhon Ratchasima province, again questioned the suspect, only identified as Mr. Roland, and later said he confessed to having strangled his wife, Ms. Orathai Posingam, 46, to death during a fierce quarrel, carrying her body on a motorcycle and dumping it in a cornfield around 6km from their home.

 

She had gone missing the same night they had quarrelled at their home in this northeastern province where they had moved to two years ago.

There has been a big search for her with a scuba diving team from  Buddhatham 31 Foundation searching a pond next to the village temple yesterday but did not find her body nor anything suspicious related to her disappearance.

 

The suspect had not come to witness the search as he has been mostly staying home only coming out to drink coffee or have a meal and meet the police.

Dark news as Swiss husband confesses to a brutal murder. Thai Wife found with a card in her mouth
by Carla Boonkong & Pranee O' Connor

 

image.jpeg

Police brought the 53-year-old suspect to the cornfield on Monday, where the decomposed body of his 46-year-old Thai wife Orathai Posee-ngarm, was found lying on its back. In a grisly development, police found her mouth sealed with duct tape and a playing card lodged in her gullet.


A day of horrifying revelations, as 53-year-old Swiss husband, Mr Roland confessed to strangling his Thai wife, Orathai Posee-ngarm. The woman inherited ฿13 million in 2021. Shockingly, a ‘Jack of Hearts’ playing card was found in her mouth, challenging any claims that this was not a gruesome crime. It culminated on Monday in a cornfield, leaving the community stunned, angered and demanding justice.


There was devastating news from Nakhon Ratchasima on Monday as police arrested the 53-year-old Swiss husband for the murder of 46-year-old Orathai Posee-ngarm. In short, she went missing on January 8 last. Mr Roland was brought by police to a cornfield 6 kilometres from the home he previously shared with his wife to find her dried and decomposed body lying unburied on the ground. Earlier, the suspect had demanded his passport back from police before he was later interrogated and grilled for 5 hours. Finally, he confessed to murdering his wife by strangling her. Moreover, the already cruel fate of Ms Orathai took an even darker twist when police found a Jack of Hearts playing card lodged in her gullet with her mouth bound by duct tape. 

 

A tale of cruelty, tragedy and foul murder emerged in Nakhon Ratchasima on Monday. In short, it came after a Swiss national identified as Mr Roland finally confessed.

 

In brief, he brutally and cruelly murdered his Thai wife, Orathai Posee-ngarm. Although police are still investigating, it appears that the Swiss man was angered by his wife’s incessant gambling on cards.

so did this arouse the officer in charge and get him in for a more thorough touch up investigation ?

This is just BS. Everyone knows he was forced by the Thai police, and most likely innocent.

He led police to the body. If he was innocent, how would he know where her body was to be found?

What a tragical story. He really must have been desperate stopping her to spend time and money with gambling. And still loving her probably. 🙏

RIP. Perhaps she  would't share her inheritence with him

nonsense ... I wouldn't think any Thai would be stunned by any murder in Thailand as it seems to be a regular pastime here.

They may be stunned because it wasn't a Thai man for a change.

Some years back, in Kata, Phuket, a member here on the Forum killed his Thai wife and put her in a garbage bin, kept the body in the basement of their home.

 

Eventually the law caught up to him. Wondering if he is still banged up or was able to pay his way out. Norwegian bloke I believe.

Seems odd that he would confess after an interrogation of five hours.  Where was his lawyer?  

True love........my a_ _

This morning on Ch32, there was a 'reporter ' holding a microphone to the suspect asking 'Lolan Lolan what you do my wife'! 🤭

Seems like Lolan has been busy!

Used to think the same until my retired mate recently married a hot little nurse who works at a government hospital.
 

He still gets the freedom to do as he pleases every day when she’s at work. He will now pay virtually zero for any future medical/hospital expenses. He will never need health insurance.

Are Lawyers part of the interrogtion process in Thailand?! That sounds mightyt Woke & Western for Siam.
