A husband and wife have been arrested in Chiang Mai for the brutal murder and dismemberment of a young woman, whose remains were found buried behind their house in Nakhon Pathom. The victim’s father reported having a dream in which his daughter told him she had been killed and buried, leading to the discovery of her body.

 

At around 13:00 on 22 March, Police Lieutenant Somphop Niamcharoen, an investigating officer at Don Tum Police Station, Nakhon Pathom province, was alerted by the investigative team of Nakhon Chai Si Police Station that human remains had been found behind a house in Moo 5, Don Ruak Subdistrict, Don Tum District. 

 

 

He coordinated with forensic experts and rescue workers from Sukhsalanukroh Foundation before proceeding to the scene with Police Colonel Yonglit Supaphon, the Don Tum Police Superintendent, and a team of investigators from Region 7 Police Headquarters.

 

Upon excavation, police uncovered human remains, including a head, bones, and hair. The victim was identified as Ms. Piyawan (22), also known as Ann, from Bang Rakam Subdistrict, Nakhon Chai Si District, Nakhon Pathom. Her relatives had reported her missing on 16 March at Nakhon Chai Si Police Station.

 

Another search team, assisted by Sukhsalanukroh Foundation divers, scoured an area near the Phaniang Taek Dam in Mueang District, where the suspects allegedly dumped additional remains.

 

Ms. Piyawan was last seen on 4 March, leaving her sister’s house at 16:00 to collect a debt from Ms. Phattharaporn (21). She reportedly left her child with her sister, saying she would return shortly.

 

For over ten days, her family was able to exchange text messages with her, but she refused to video call, and the tone of her messages seemed suspicious. Meanwhile, Ms. Phattharaporn and her husband, Mr. Narongchai, also disappeared, leading to suspicions that they were involved in her disappearance.

 

In a chilling twist, the victim’s father reported having a dream in which his daughter appeared, telling him she had been murdered and buried behind the suspects’ house.

 

After a thorough investigation, police tracked down Ms. Phattharaporn and Mr. Narongchai in Chiang Mai, where they had gone into hiding. Upon their arrest, they confessed to killing Ms. Piyawan, dismembering her body, burning it, and burying the remains behind their house.

 

The motive, according to their statement, was anger over the victim’s repeated demands for repayment and her offensive language.

 

The suspects are currently being transported back to Nakhon Pathom for further questioning and legal proceedings.

Ask her for tomorrow's lottery numbers.

Horrific.

Don't lend money!

It you did anyway and repayment fails write it off. Don't get excited.

"What???  You expect us to pay back the money we borrowed???...555"

 

Not an unfamiliar theme.   One reads many stories about predatory loan sharks but I'd call many Thai borrowers predatory as well.

[factual monk]

Horrific... evil ... first they borrow money and then brutally kill the person who lend them money... helped them... 

Pure devils... 

In today's world, think twice before lending money to anyone... be it your friends, relatives or acquaintances... 

Praying for peace of the soul of the deceased lady... 🙏

Evil pair, spend the rest of your days in jail.

Thai borrowing. 

 

No cyanide this time? Just beating them to death and hacking them up?

Well they must know the laws somewhat well and knew that if they admitted to the murder they would get a big reduction in jail time. It’s a stupid law here, but what can we do about it? They should not get a lighter sentence for murder.

A 22 year old mother, murdered because she asked people who borrowed money from her to pay it back.  Thai people find some pretty wild reasons to excuse killing each other.

Third killing relating to money lending I’ve seen in Thai media over the last month.

 

”Neither a borrower nor a lender be”, may be Hamlet, but very apt for Thailand.
