A 46-year-old man was brutally killed by his neighbour in Roi Et following an argument over the shooting of a dog. The suspect was arrested shortly after the attack, with a bloodstained machete in his possession.

 

Police in Chaturaphak Phiman district, Roi Et, were called to the scene of a fatal attack at a house under construction in Ban Dong Kheng, Pa Sang subdistrict, at around 08:00 on 10 February. Upon arrival, officers discovered the lifeless body of Mr. Kampha Laodee, 46, lying on his back in the dirt beside the house.

 

A preliminary examination revealed multiple deep slash wounds on the right side of his neck and his right wrist. His skull had also been severely fractured, suggesting he had been struck with a heavy object. Blood was pooled around his body.

 

Following an investigation, police tracked down and arrested the suspect, identified as Mr. Kaew Wanarin, 44, at his home just 200 metres from the crime scene. He was found in possession of a bloodstained machete, measuring approximately 94 cm, which is believed to be the murder weapon.

 

A drug test revealed that Mr. Kaew had amphetamines in his system at the time of the attack. He has since been charged with murder and carrying a weapon in public without justifiable reason.

 

The attack is believed to have been motivated by a dispute between the two men after the victim allegedly criticised the suspect for shooting a dog and injuring it. Authorities continue to investigate the case.
