A shocking triple homicide has rocked the community of Hua Yai, Prachuap Khiri Khan province, where a heavily pregnant Myanmar woman and her young daughter were found brutally murdered in their rented home. The heinous crime, believed to have been committed by fellow Myanmar nationals, appears to have been motivated by robbery.

 

The gruesome discovery was made on August 31, when Police Lieutenant Colonel Jakrawut Klangkarn, an investigator from Huai Yang Police Station, was alerted to the deaths of the mother and daughter in their residence located in Moo 4, Ban Huai Maprang, Huai Yang Subdistrict, Thap Sakae District. Authorities rushed to the scene, where they found the body of 38-year-old Kin Wai Lin, who was eight months pregnant, lying on her back on the bed. She had suffered severe injuries to her face and head, inflicted by a blunt object. Nearby, her 7-year-old daughter was also found dead with similar head injuries. Preliminary forensic examinations suggested that both victims had been dead for at least three days.

 

The tragedy was uncovered when a local former politician, who had hired the woman's husband, 40-year-old Saw Win Oo, also a Myanmar national, to cut rubber trees in Ban Hua Khao, Moo 10, Huai Yang Subdistrict, became concerned. The husband had not shown up for work and was unreachable, prompting the politician to send someone to check on the family. The shocking discovery of the two bodies was made soon after.

 

 

Later that same day, at approximately 15:30, Kasem Phimsakart, the village head of Ban Hua Khao, was informed by local residents of another death. This time, the body of a Myanmar man was found in a rubber plantation on a hill, about 500 metres from a local childcare centre. The victim had been viciously attacked with a sharp object, resulting in fatal wounds to his neck and head. The man was later identified as Saw Win Oo, the husband of the murdered woman and father of the slain child. His body was found lying atop a chainsaw, indicating he was likely killed while working.

 

Village head Kasem noted that the murders were likely connected, suspecting that the crimes stemmed from a conflict with two other Myanmar nationals whom the deceased had brought to work alongside him. After receiving his wages from the former politician, totaling between 40,000 to 50,000 baht, it is believed that Saw Win Oo was killed by his co-workers, who then fled with the money. The killers are suspected of murdering his wife and child later to eliminate any witnesses.

 

A younger brother of the deceased, who is 32 years old, revealed that the family, originally from Tanintharyi in Myeik, had been working in Thailand for over a decade and held legal work permits. He expressed deep sorrow and anger over the brutal murders of his brother, sister-in-law, and niece, who were likely killed by their own countrymen in a robbery that also saw the theft of gold jewellery and a Honda Wave motorcycle.

 

Authorities are continuing their investigation, and it is reported that the two suspects have likely fled back to Myanmar using unofficial border crossings. The local community, shaken by this unprecedented violence, is cooperating fully with law enforcement as the search for the perpetrators continues.

To me that sounds like 4 killed, but maybe they don´t count same in Thailand.

Perhaps confusing until you read the full article. Then it is clear that in total 3 people were found dead in 2 separate places.

Truly gruesome, I hope they haven't had time to flee the country...

That doesn't make any sense.  The man was killed in the plantation and the woman and child were killed at their home.

 

More likely is that the woman knew the men, and so she was killed to ensure that she didn't give the names to the police.

Under Thai law, I believe it refers to the unborn child (fetus in utero) which is accepted to be a minor, provided it is subsequently born alive. 
 

For example in section 15 Thailand Civil and Commercial Code second paragraph: 'the unborn child (in his mother's womb) is capable of rights provided that it is thereafter born alive.'

Sorry but where does it say she witnesses his killing.

oh dear Georgealbert ......    this is truly shocking news to read,  I didn't even finish reading the whole article,  but it mentioned that robbery was the motive however, they went to the rubber plantation and killed the husband also,  so robbery was not the motive at all .....  it was pre-meditated and planned.  

 

very sad for their families back in Burma,  I hope they can get through this terrible event.

I hope the RTP act quickly and kill the murderers..

Any time a heinous crime like this is committed, the death penalty, applied within 60 days, is the answer. If there is enough evidence, or eye witnesses, then no appeals, just pronounce a quick sentence and carry it out. 

 

See ya. You crossed the line. You don't deserve oxygen anymore.
