Police have arrested a Thai man linked to the murder and dismemberment of a Japanese man in Nonthaburi, near Bangkok.

 

The grisly discovery began on April 19 when a 10-year-old Thai boy found a human wrist in an abandoned area on Ban Kluay-Sai Noi Road in Bang Bua Thong district. Further investigation revealed more body parts in black rubbish bags nearby.

 

After an extensive search, authorities found the skull in a roadside forest with evidence of a gunshot wound and signs of dismemberment, possibly with a chainsaw.

 

Although the victim remains unidentified, a Thai suspect, aged between 30 and 40, was apprehended. Three vehicles related to the case, including an abandoned white Nissan Almera sedan, were seized.

 

The arrested Thai individual confessed to assisting two Japanese perpetrators. He recounted driving them and the victim to a warehouse in Nonthaburi, where he heard gunshots while stepping away.

 

According to his statement, the Japanese men killed and dismembered the victim, instructing him to dispose of the remains.

 

Authorities are currently searching for the Japanese suspects, believed to still be in Thailand. Autopsies are underway to confirm the identities of the deceased individuals.

Japanese gang members escape to Laos after a killing in Nonthaburi

 

 

Authorities in Thailand have named two Japanese individuals in connection with a horrific murder case of a compatriot. The accused, who are also recognized as members of a top yakuza gang in Japan, have fled to Laos. Thai officials are now working with counterparts in Laos to arrange their extradition.

 

The incident came to light following the discovery of human body parts in a forest in Nonthaburi province near Bangkok, which were identified as those of 47-year-old Japanese man, Kabashima Ryosuke.

 

A local Thai man, 30-year-old Kritsakorn “Game” Jaiphitak, was apprehended by police in connection with the case. Game revealed the identity of the culprits as Japanese nationals, Kato Takuya, aged 50 and 28-year-old Suzuki Hiroto. While Game admitted to aiding in the disposal of the body, he denied any responsibility for the murder.

 

ThaiRath confirmed on April 26, that the Japanese suspects had entered Laos by boat, via the Nakhon Phanom border. Thai authorities suspect the two are currently hiding in the Thakhek District, Khammouane province, Laos.

 

The suspected murderers are allegedly associated with a prominent yakuza gang in Japan and are wanted by Japanese law enforcement agencies. One is reported to be a vice president of the gang, accused of operating illegal businesses in Thailand for a considerable period. The murder victim, Ryosuke, was also believed to be a member of this gang, and his death is suspected to be gang-related.

 

Game, the local Thai suspect, has been denied bail due to the seriousness of the crime and has been moved from Bang Bua Thong Police Station to Nonthaburi Provincial Court for temporary detention.

 

Game's father, in an interview with ThaiRath, shared his son was employed by the Japanese suspects for a good wage of 1,000 baht per day. However, he was unsure about his son's involvement in the murder or the illicit businesses.

I don't think that'll stand up in court.

Paid 1000 a day should have been a sign to the father that something was amiss.
