Police have arrested a transgender and her boyfriend for the brutal murder of her younger brother, whose body was buried in a forest for over three months. The suspects have confessed, revealing that the fatal attack stemmed from a dispute over a motorcycle wheel.

 

The crime took place in Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima District, with officers from Nakhon Ratchasima City Police Station making the arrests in the early hours of 25 March. The suspects later led investigators to the burial site, a wooded area in Isan Khiew, behind a shopping centre in Nong Bua Sala Subdistrict.

 

The victim was identified as Mr. Jakrin aged 28, the younger brother of one of the suspects, Mr. Natthawut aged 36, a transgender. Police allege that Natthawut and her boyfriend conspired to shoot Jakrin dead before burying his body.

 

At 10:00 on 26 March, officers escorted the suspects to the location where the victim’s body had been buried. Forensic police, along with rescue volunteers from the Sawang Metta Nakhon Ratchasima Foundation, assisted in the recovery operation.

 

Jakrin had reportedly gone missing in mid-December 2024, leaving his family in distress. Relatives were shocked to learn that his own sibling was involved in his disappearance and murder.

 

Family members revealed that the fatal altercation began over a motorcycle wheel, which Jakrin wanted back. The dispute escalated into a violent confrontation in front of the suspects’ home, where Jakrin was shot twice and left to die.

 

Mr. Apichat 27, a relative of the victim, recalled that Jakrin left their shared residence on 12 December 2024 after receiving a call from someone interested in purchasing a motorcycle wheel for 500 baht. It was later discovered that this was a ruse orchestrated by the suspects to lure him out.

Jakrin set out on his motorbike, accompanied by his young nephew, who rode separately. Upon arrival at the meeting point, the suspects took the nephew’s motorbike and forced Jakrin to follow them home. It was there that the dispute turned deadly, culminating in two fatal gunshots.

 

The terrified nephew rushed back to inform the family, but Jakrin was never seen again. On 15 December, concerned relatives reported his disappearance to Nakhon Ratchasima Police, but the case made little progress.

 

Frustrated by the lack of police action, the family sought help from the Mirror Foundation, a well-known missing persons organisation. Their investigation led to the discovery that Natthawut and boyfriend had fled to Pathum Thani Province.

 

Authorities eventually tracked them down and placed them under arrest. The suspects later admitted to the killing and directed police to the burial site, where forensic teams are working to recover the remains.

Well done to the Mirror Foundation.

Sad though that they had to do the Police's work for the family.

They should have gone for a bicycle wheel instead. Then the brother would only be stabbed and in recovery.

It's quite amazing the veery trivial things that Thais seem to commit murder over.  No wonder they're so polite to each other.

Minimal brains is exaggerated. They have no brain cells.
