Police have arrested a 41-year-old man for the cold-blooded murder of his best friend, whom he shot in the face at a remote hut in a rubber plantation. The suspect, who had been on the run for several days, was finally caught in a rubber forest with a rifle and multiple firearm accessories.

 

The arrest was led by Pol. Col. Natthawut Thongthip, Deputy Commander of Nakhon Si Thammarat Provincial Police, alongside officers from Phibun Police Station and Region 8 Investigation Unit. The suspect, identified as Mr. Phithak, was wanted on charges of murder and illegal possession of firearms under an arrest warrant issued by Thung Song Provincial Court.

 

The murder took place on February 23 in Moo 6, Phibun District, Nakhon Si Thammarat, where the victim, Mr. Hasdee 46, was found dead in a small hut in a rubber plantation.

 

Police investigations revealed that the two men, once close friends, had an intense argument on February 22, during which the victim allegedly insulted the suspect’s mother outside his home. Enraged by the altercation, Mr. Phithak decided to take revenge.

 

That night, he retrieved a long-barrelled firearm, rode a motorbike to the rubber plantation, and walked up the hill to where the victim was sleeping in his hut. Without hesitation, he shot Mr. Hasdee in the face, killing him instantly, before fleeing the scene on his motorbike.

 

After the killing, the suspect hid the weapon at a relative’s oil palm plantation before escaping into the wilderness. Police tracked him down to a rubber plantation in Chang Klang District, where he was arrested.

 

During questioning, the suspect admitted to the crime, claiming he had been planning to surrender but was caught before he could do so.

 

Following the arrest, officers recovered the murder weapon and conducted a crime reconstruction at the scene. The suspect is now in custody at Phibun Police Station, where he faces legal proceedings for the murder.
