A grisly murder occurred near a labour camp in Chonburi's Si Racha district, where a Burmese worker was found brutally killed with multiple stab wounds to his face and neck. Authorities suspect that at least two assailants were involved in the attack, which took place in a wooded area beside a workers' camp.

 

At approximately 15:00 on November 8, Lieutenant Colonel Rachun Chaipin, Deputy Investigator at Nong Kham Police Station, received a report of a body found along the Pinthong 4- Huai Saphan Road in the Bueang Subdistrict of Si Racha. The victim, identified as 28-year-old Jo Yi Ted, had been dead for at least 20 hours, with his body showing signs of multiple injuries, including a slashed throat and five stab wounds to the face and forehead.

 

Police investigations revealed that Jo Yi Ted, who had previously worked as a CCTV installer, was living in the nearby construction camp. However, he had been expelled from the camp by the foreman two months earlier due to repeated accusations of stealing money from his coworkers. After his expulsion, he had reportedly been seen frequenting the area. The location where he was found dead was a spot where workers often gathered for drinks after hours.

 

Near the body, police found a clothing bag and a partially consumed bottle of herbal whiskey. They speculate that Jo Yi Ted may have encountered individuals he had previously stolen from, which led to the fatal confrontation.

 

Authorities have launched a thorough investigation and are pursuing suspects in what they believe to be a premeditated attack involving multiple people. Police are committed to apprehending those responsible and pursuing justice in this disturbing case.
