Police have arrested a 20-year-old Myanmar national, Lin Lin Aye, for the gruesome murder of a fellow countryman, 48-year- old Aung Min Thee, in Lom Sak District, Phetchabun Province. The suspect allegedly skinned the victim's face and cut off one of his ears after a drunken argument.

 

The incident was reported after the discovery of Aung Min Thee's body on a roadside near a construction site in Ban Pak Ok, Pak Chong Sub-district. The victim had severe injuries, including cuts on his neck, a missing ear, and burn marks around the remains of his mouth. A knife, approximately 20 centimetres long, was found near the body. The police estimated the time of death to be between 8 to 10 hours before the body was found.

 

 

The investigation revealed that the two men, both construction workers, had been drinking together on the night of October 17. Witnesses reported that Aung Min Thee had been bragging and belittling Lin Lin Aye, causing tensions between them. The two left the camp together to buy more alcohol but never returned. The next morning, Aung Min Thee's mutilated body was discovered by locals.

 

A police task force, including officers from the Provincial Police Region 6 and Ban Klang Police Station, launched an overnight manhunt. Lin Lin Aye was eventually found seeking food and clothing from local villagers, and police arrested him shortly after.

 

During interrogation, Lin Lin Aye confessed to the crime. He stated that after an escalating argument, Aung Min Thee attempted to attack him with a knife. In self-defence, Lin Lin Aye wrested the knife from the victim and fatally stabbed him in the stomach and neck. In a fit of rage, he then skinned Aung Min Thee's face before fleeing into the nearby forest.

 

The suspect has been charged with premeditated murder, and police are continuing their investigation into the case.
